Second chemo session today. I did well after a little confusion about a newbie who wasted four needles trying to access the imbedded port in my arm. A pro took pity on
both of us and inserted Needle #5 in seconds. The session was half as long as the first one, and I’m assuming that the last four sessions will be short as well.
I was tired for a while, but after Bryan and I ate some breakfast at a nice place in Deerfield, we both felt better. I feel pretty dang good right now, but I have a 5-day anti-
nausea med in my blood stream. We must return tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 p.m. to get my post-chemo shot, which judging from the first one I had, is no big deal.
Generally, things went well. The techs are very nice and kind. They like to be upbeat and they joke around a lot. There was a lot of joking and laughter going on there.
Oh dear, newbies! My wife had one that made her arm look like a dartboard until a pro took over. I guess they all have to learn. Glad things went pretty smoothly. Prayers and (((hugs))) continue.

Did you point and do the finger circle motion while saying “Noooooooooooob!” at them?
Good to see you!
Hope you continue doing well!
Thank you for keeping us in the loop.
The rest of the sessions will probably be short also. Just one drug to be infused unless you will need something else like minerals that may be depleted from fighting the disease or blood if anemic.
It sounds like you are doing great!
Still praying for you both.
:)
Well that stinks! Not the place for a nervous newbie. I feel sorry for both of you. A tough situation.
Dang girl!
Afraid I would have been doing "speech" with the newbie.
Happy to hear it was a short session.
