Aaah the first chemo! I'm doing four rounds A/C dose-dense (spaced two weeks apart instead of three) with a Neulasta shot the day after to boost my white blood cell count since they are spaced so close.
My parents came with me to my first infusion. I brought something new to knit - it's been so long since I've gotten to knit (with a toddler around), this actually made me look forward to the appointment!
Poking the port was a little sore but not too bad.
I was surprised that for the first two hours, I was just getting fluids, anti-nausea meds, etc. When it came time to get the Chemo, I thought I would feel it but it didn't feel any different.
I felt fine at home until around 5, when I took an anti-nausea pill. It kicked in right away and I was able to cook and eat a healthy dinner (quinoa, tofu, eggplant, peppers, and garlic with a hefty dose of turmeric - trying to get that nutritional boost to help me heal!)
