Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 618 | Got my first dose of Chemo today. No adverse symptoms yet (knock on wood). I'll be keeping an eye out tomorrow.
Had a big yogurt, carnation 560,fruit shake when I came home and that went well.
Radiation was canceled as RO felt field was too close to my eye. He will make adjustment and I go back tomorrow.
All in all a long first day. Thanks all for your input. I'll keep a running post of problems if they occur in case any others start on a low dose weekly chemo regime.
