Chemo #1

I had my first chemo on August 8. It was a long day! I had to get my pic line placed which took awhile and I’m also doing cold calling before during and after the infusions so it adds time to the day. Next time should be better and faster I hope!

Jeff was with me the whole time :)

the side effects of this protocol - carboplatin and paclitaxol - were a lot of fatigue, nausea and GI issue, dry mouth. I also had some insomnia from the steroids and leg pain from the white blood cell shot. It was not the most fun week or so.

I’m doing ok in the off weeks although still have some bouts of tiredness. I have been able to do some light workouts though so I am happy about that! I’m doing light weights and yoga and walking the dogs. It does a lot for my mental health to be able to move despite the pic line and side effects.
