The Alien Within: 2 – Preparing for War…
Chemotherapy
Preparing for treatment
Week 1 – Day 1 = Monday, 27th July 2015
It is Sunday, 26th July 2015…
Tomorrow we start the treatment plan, which goes something like this, all things being equal;
Day 1 – Hooked up to Chemo cocktail with a portable pump and sent home (if all goes to plan!)
Day 1 to 5 – Chemo cocktail fed intravenously through portable pump, along with other constituents orally and subcutaneously
Day 5 – Pump disconnected and sent home for…
Weeks 2, 3 & 4 – Downtime, monitored via hospital visits two or three times per week in the down time.
Week 5 – Start the cycle, as above, again & again…
Wash, rinse & repeat for potentially 8 cycles (that’ll be eight months worth!)
So, in preparation for the commencement of my treatment plan, I visited the barber last Thursday for a straight Nr.3 all over!
And this morning decided to adjust the facial fluff in a rebellious pre-emptive strike…
NEXT – Week 1 – Day 1
I like the new look!! xoxo
