Thank you all for the kind wishes. I've made it through two rads and one big bag of Cisplatin. The chemo has me reeling, sick since Tuesday evening despite being on 5 anti-nausea meds round the clock. Called the nurse this morning to ask if there's anything else we can do. Had hoped to be at work yesterday and today, but guess that wasn't realistic.
On the plus side my anxiety is definitely down now that treatment's underway. I know there's rough times ahead but now everyday I'm closer to recovery.
Hugs & Love,
Mama
