Chemo Round 3

Today was my third treatment of chemotherapy. Richard had to work so mom took me to Kaiser. She stayed with me through my Dr's visit and then left for a little while. Dr. Richert-Boe asked how I was feeling? Any mouth sores? Any fevers? and then checked my heart beat, ankles for swelling ( a sign the heart is having problems) and said I was doing good. As she was ready to leave the room and said I was doing good,I am almost half way done, she patted my leg and that set me off. I started to cry and then the Dr. have me a hug and reminded me that crying is good, it relieves stress. I had told Richard this morning that I didn't want to go today. maybe I just wont show up. I hate going there knowing I am doing something that is so terrible to my body and is going to make me sick. In the treatment room, there was only one man there, so I sat at the other end of the room so there was some privacy. By the time I left, there were about 3 other patients that had came in. So my visit was a quiet one. Since I was there by myself, I had the TV on and sat and read. Everything went very smooth this time, no hang ups. I went in at 10am and mom and I were home by 1:30pm. Richard got home right after I did. I was tired so crawled into bed and took a nap until 4pm. Am feeling pretty good so far..... just waiting for the nausea to hit, and I know it will. So I am sitting here at 5:08pm eating cookies and milk!!
