First treatment is over. I had a bed next to a window where I could see Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier. My nurse was great. The chest port worked perfectly. Took 9 hours to get all of the chemo
in. They had a menu where I could order lunch and dinner. I had salmon for dinner with a salad and soup and sandwich for lunch. Had minor alergic reaction to first bag (itchy throat). I listened to a book (Pillars of the Earth), slept, read my Bible, prayed, watched some tv. I'm a little nauseated now. The only bad thing was the last bag gave me the runs. :) One other thing, food started tasting strange within a few hours. :( Weight today was 176 lbs. Swam twice in last 4 days and ran once. Hard to believe how fast things are going. Stomach surgery and port placement surgery over last five weeks. Here is my day 1 after chemo picture. I'm going to try and post once per week.
Studly. Proud of you, brother! Lymphoma, away with you, be gone. Amen!
