First day of chemo was in-house, so they could observe me (it went well!). Future courses will happen every 2 weeks, and I'll be wearing a chemo pump at home on a fanny pack for 2 days of that 2 week period.
4 different meds for nausea (!)...let's see if that becomes a thing.
And, for my diagnosis (colorectal cancer), the 5-year survival rate is: 15%
Not reassuring, but remember -- that's for EVERYONE with this diagnosis. The 70-80 yr olds, those who are obese, sedentary, have diabetes & heart disease.
Since I'm relatively healthy (otherwise), I'm betting my odds are significantly better...but let's see :)
