1st Chemo Treatment

First day down, two more to go. Today took from 8:00 to 3:00. I received two types of chemo, numerous fluids, anti-nausea meds, and Sandostatin(for Carcinoid symptoms). Tomorrow will be just one chemo and should only take about 1-2 hours. I don't have any discomfort or nausea and was sent home with a slew of ant-nausea meds. The nurse said sometimes the nausea and vomiting hold off for 3 or 4 days. I'm hopeful these new meds will help tremendously. Next week I meet with the doctor to check my blood counts and get the results of the colonoscopy biopsy. All of this will determine if I'm on track for the embolization in 14 days. Thanks go to my husband and all my "sisters" for taking care of me today. Being distracted through this is a good thing. All of the cards, cartoons, food and goody bags are such a comfort. Oh yeah, thanks to Chemo Joe also for being with me and standing guard!
