Day 3

My chemo will come in 3 rounds of 21 days.  I get treatment on days 1-5, 8, and 15.  Then rest to day 21 to begin day 1 of second cycle.  The doctor says the dosage of chemo I get in the first round is supposed to eradicate 99 percent of the cancer cells in my body.  Obviously along the way, a lot of good cells will get destroyed but then I have those off days to recuperate.  Slowly the healing will begin.  Praise God- 99 percent gone sounds good to me, then round 2 will seek to get rid of that remaining 1 percent and so on.  So all in all, a pretty good day of information.  I was out of there in under 3 hours.  So they are pumping the juices in me pretty good and fast.  Today's nurse was Debbie- all the nurses are real cool people with great stories and a great disposition on life.
