First Day of Chemotherapy

Yesterday was my first day of chemotherapy. Over the years I have heard so much about it but it but I was uninformed. I'm sure I will learn a lot more, but I learn a lot today.

I have to say it wasn't a bad day. It was just a long day. For over 6.5 hours they pumped chemicals into my body. They pumped them into a chest port that they installed when I was in the hospital last week.

It doesn't seem like a lot to be so thankful for but that came later. So I went to bed last night (I've actually had to sleep in my recliner for over 2 months but on to the point) about 9:30pm last night, and for the first since that I slept through the light. I missed the first medicine break at 12:00am and didn't wake up until the next medicine break at 6:ooam break. I haven't slept that long in months.

And the best part was that when I woke up I was able to take a poop-poop for the 3rd time in 2 months. You learn to appreciate things in a new way when you've been as sick as I have. So I realize that new side effects will occur as I take more chemotherapy, more immunotherapy, and more chemical effects.Until them I will say thank you for the gifts and help me Lord for the ones that hurt. Most of all, realizing that He is with me all the time, all the way. That was the blessing this chemo day!
