Had my 1st chemo session yesterday, All went well had 6 injections, 3 of them were anti nausea and steroids, then came the Keytruda, Taxol, Carbo, all took a total of 6 hrs.
drinking lots of water and feel pretty good today, tomorrow I go have the port put in and the biopsy done, yes I will be glad to have the port in. they told me I would feel pretty good but come Saturday could become more tired and ache a lot feel more like flu symptoms could last a week. Not looking forward to that but they said if it gets bad they can give me a steroid shot, hopeful I can tolerate it and just sleep and lay around. Next Wed. I go have labs taken to see if all blood counts are doing well. only 3 more chemo. sessions to go! then I will stay on Keytruda. Thank goodness for my sister she is my rock. not looking forward to losing all my hair. but I am alive and will survive this . Have a nice day today and be outside winter is over and feels nice to have windows open. keep fingers crossed it don't get to sick.

@loula Cynde, sounds like all went well with your first chemo session! You know, you did all the hard work of staying positive and asking for help. Looking forward, I know you’ll do well. Proud of you! Becky

@loula. Cynde, you did it! You conquered the worst of the anxiety, traversed the mountains of information, made many informed decisions and got your show on the road. On your terms! Along the way you have met new friends and managed to inspire others, including me. Put that all together and look at a huge amount of strength. Congratulations, friend!
Peace, Nancy

@loula- How are you feeling today? I'm glad this this one is over for you. In anticipation of my first chemo my B/P went up to 150 over something. Be kind to yourself and rest if you need it. Do you have everything that you need at home?
