Thank you for all the prayers. I was more nervous then I thought when I went in for treatment today. After last weeks postponement, I wasn't sure what to expect. Kristin and the girls (Kaylin and Lilly, my granddaughters) drove me to the Infusion Center. They waited in the waiting room until I was sure it was a go for treatment.
Jackie and Yvonne are the two nurses that take care of me @ the center. I will try to get a picture of them in the coming weeks. They are the sweetest and most thoughtful Nurses. Jackie attached the needle to my portacath, and drew the blood. She must have been able to tell I was nervous because she asked "are you alright?" I told her I was just nervous about the blood work...and she calmed me down, telling me she was sure I would be okay. Then, instead of waiting until she got all my chemo cocktail ready she came out right away and told me my blood was good, then went back to the vault to get the meds.
It was only four hours today. They can combine some of my drugs now that they know I will not have a reaction to each individual drug. The picture above is all the chemo drugs...plus the one that they had already hooked up. Yvonne told me each of my treatments cost $8000.00 !!!! Thanks goodness for insurance. And I tell you what, I have paid into my insurance for years and I don't feel one bit guilty about them shelling out the $$$'s...lol.
The girls picked me up, we went to lunch and then stopped off at William S. Hart Park, to look at the farm animals and some photo ops.
That's is for now......love and light to all!
Joni
