Chemo #10 - double digits and only 2 left. Here's a day of chemo for me. AP and I arrive with my chemo bag (blankets and snacks) around 7:30am for labs. After labs are processed, we meet with the doctor, and they give us the "go ahead", everything looks good - or the "hold up" let's add some potassium or magnesium or fluids or something... Then, we head back to a room - hopefully with a window. Number ten treated me well with 2 windows, and a door!

First are the pretreats. I get an anti-nausea med, and then a LOT (like a lot a lot) of Benadryl. I do my best to stay awake as long as possible. It's kind of a little game I play - but it never takes to long for my head to fall back and sleep ascends. I sleep until around lunch, and Andy goes to pick up some version of soup and sandwich. Then, as the meds pump thorough my body and Andy works quietly and diligently in an uncomfortable chair, it's back to sleep for me. I wake again around 3pm, and have a bit of time to make sure all is well before (slowly) heading home. Upon arriving at home, it's usually back to rest on the couch or bed. 

No one fight alone. My chemo days are filled with texts and funny jokes and 💜s all day long. I know there are also prayers and energy and vibes being sent my directions. And, of course, Andy is always there - being so solid and calm and ready with a smile each time I wake.  

Thanks, Lo.
