1ST Chemo Treatment

Well, Monday was 2 weeks exactly from having gallbladder surgery. I recovered well and given a choice to wait start Chemo treatment for at least another two weeks or go ahead and start.

I went ahead and started my Chemo treatment, received first one Tuesday and next one is tomorrow.

The choice was mind to make, as was advised about losing all my hair and some patients during the summer don't like treatment because change their appearance during summer months. We only have one more trip planned, and it's this weekend. Besides, my treatment is for precancerous cells found during my last biopsy.

To me stopping the precancerous cells is more important than looks to me, and not wonting to put off that could lead to possibly fast progression.

The 1st treatment made me only feel tired for two days with no energy, am thankful no very bad vomiting as I was told could lead to lots of vomiting with other issues as the treatment affects each one differently.

I'm still here, just taking care of myself more. I am putting my health first and foremost from now on and not putting things off. I have lost to many family and friends to cancer, one including my sister in 2001 at age of 26 (that still hurts today when I think about how she never got to have a family of her own and when she wanted children of her own). It is not a wise decision to ignore health issues or possibility of full-blown cancer and thankful with new improvements to healthcare that can detect early precancerous cells to try avoid the disease becoming full blown cancer.

Everyone have a good rest of week and finish out strong with your online endeavors along with having a good weekend.
