Chemo Journal Day 21

October 2- Day 21

Tomorrow, I’ll head to SCOA for Treatment #2, which means I have officially finished one treatment cycle!  One down, five to go.

This was a wonderful week full of energy and “normal” chaos.  Now I know that I can do this.  I know what to expect and I can now say, “I’ve done it.”   It’s actually not as bad as I anticipated.  (Remind me of this in a few days.)

If I remember correctly, (and a good friend pointed out) I was quite dazed and confused for a few days after my first treatment making journal entries quite scattered and loosely edited.  (Just for the record, I’m leaving them that way. I think it spices things up a bit, don’t you?)  So, for now, my journal entries are complete. I’ve done it.  I’ve completed a treatment cycle.  I’ve documented how I felt each day of my very first treatment, just as “Ms. Nurse Educator” told me I should.  I can use this first go ’round as a reference when I wish to compare and as I anticipate what’s ahead each day.

Treatment 2, here I come!  Wish me luck.
