For the most part is was completely painless. Check in, get vitals done. Head to infusion room get a blood draw. Meet with the doctor after the blood draw. Back to the infusion room and start the chemotherapy.
As the session got closer to the end I had to use the restroom several times. I am assuming it was from the amount of fluids included in the drugs. One of the first drugs made me sensitive to cold. A sip with a straw of something cold made it feel like my tough froze solid where the liquid hit my tongue. The last drug of the day was the worst. Nausea begins shortly after it is started, toward the end it is pretty pronounced. I also noticed red, blue and green pixels when I closed my eyes. A bit of a light show you might say.
Once finished nausea is very high. I am removed from the IV pumps and a small football shaped pump is connected to my port line. I will have this with me until Thursday afternoon when I return to the clinic to have it removed.
I ask for an emesis bag and we head home. That last hour in the clinic and the first hour home is the worst. Once I eat something I feel a whole lot better.
