so that was surprisingly pleasant. the worst part is they have to flush the port with saline and you can taste it, but it was relatively painless and the chemo wasn't even in a bag, it was just a nurse slowly injecting it for like 15 minutes and I only noticed seven minutes in. no doubt in a few minutes I'll have some nausea or something but that wasn't too bad at all.
in better news the doc even said he thinks my throatswelling went down and looks better and that while it's rare for a tumor to shrink so quickly, it's not unheard of, and since the possible cancer symptoms from before (bad breathing, cough, etc) have tapered off to nothing, we might reduce the steroid next week and see if this shit's
already dying.
so hooray!
anyways, here's the schedule: today was a 15 minute blio chemo treatment. next tuesday I go in for the same thing. there's a week 4th of july break and then we start

the five day course, which while not in the hospital is bascially 9 to 5 sitting there being chemod, which is just not going to be fucking fun at all. blood work will be done regularly as will tests to see how the treatment's going.
atm I feel okay, just a little bloated and high from Atavan. I still got the weird taste stuff going on but honestly, I be doing all right atm!
