Here I am getting my 1st Chemo treatment. Today, I got two drugs. Carboplatin, and Gemcitibene (or Gemzar). These are ones I didn't have before, so I didn't know what to expect.I was glad that I didn't have any reaction to the chemo drugs. If I can't take these drugs it's gonna be bad.
I was excited to see that they had wireless internet. I was able to use my computer........Until I got so tired that I fell asleep.
You wouldn't believe all the stuff that's in the "happy juice" !!! Sleeping pills, tranquilizers, anti-nausea, even benadryl. Lots of benadryl. Think we will cut back on the benadryl next time.
Tonight, I take an Ativan, before I go to bed. It helps with the nausea, with sleeping. It is a type of tranquilizer. In the morning I take a Zofran for nausea. If those don't work, I have another one, Compazine.
Enough about nausea! God knows us from the time we were formed in out Mother's wombs. He can certainly watch over me and give me the strength I need for whatever comes my way!
