You taking off work? How are you keeping your days structured ? |

Date: April 23rd, 2024 12:01 PM Author: Bistre rigpig On medical leave. Not doing any work during treatment. I’m planning on reading more books. Days are not very structured yet due to the stress of the situation but I spend a lot of quality time with family which keeps me grounded.

Date: April 23rd, 2024 1:51 PM Author: Bistre rigpig Yeah, when my dr first told me about the port a few weeks ago I felt very sad and anxious about it all…as you said, because it’s all too real.
Yesterday was a rough day where i was crying throughout the day but feeling pretty good today. Going to head outside for a few hours and get some fresh air soon |

Date: April 24th, 2024 6:37 PM Author: Bistre rigpig No, I don’t think anyone does chemo that frequently, do they? Mine is once every 2 weeks.
My understanding is I’ll be in the chemo center for 4 hours or so each time and then I have to come home with a pump that contains one of the 2 chemo infusion meds (and carry it with me everywhere) and I’ll get it gradually over 48 hours. Then i’ll have to go back to the hospital for them to remove the pump and they’ll give me iv fluids if needed |

Date: April 25th, 2024 7:01 PM Author: Bistre rigpig Ty. The procedure was really quick and comfortable. Im still feeling the fentanyl and other sedative they gave me so a little drowsy.
