Chemo Round 1

First they give me Benadryl (for any potential reactions- makes ya hecka sleepy ) and

Dexamethasone which is a steroid that helps make anti-nausea work better. Those two drugs are put directly in my port from syringe.

Then they give me Akynzeo which is the anti-nausea med.

Next up are the Chemo drugs aka Cancer Killers aka Poison. Oxaliplatin and Leucovorin are given together over 2 hours. Once that is done I get another cancer killer drug. It’s the IV form of the chemo pills I took during radiation.

5-FU (FOLFOX) They give me a bolus(15-20min) and then they hook me up to pump and I come home with same drug. It looks like a ball and as it disperses the chemo over the next 48 hours it will shrink down.

I get to wear it in my cute pink fanny pack instead of the ugly black bag they had for me.

Now I sleep.

Pray for minimal side effects. I had minimal effects with radiation and chemo pills so I am just going to keep praying the same way

My amazing Mom was my chauffeur and I came home to 4 gorgeous bouquets of flowers from my 4 handsome guys.

Thank you for your prayers and love and well wishes. When I get disconnected on Thursday we can say “Round 1 done!”
