I just started round 2 of chemo on Thurs, Aug 13. I'm 1/2 way done with the 3 rounds of chemo Dr. Bahador said I would start with. It is just the beginning of round 2. After the 3 rounds I am scheduled for another PET scan to see how my progress is going.
My parents are on vacation during this time (well deserved). My father-in-law cleared his busy schedule to be with me during administration of my round 2 first chemo. My husband has to work during those days. Everyone just wanted to be sure I had someone to watch me in case something went wrong (i.e. needing to be take to urgent care in case of high fever, excessive vomiting).
I really enjoyed having him visit. Although I was tired after the chemo, my husband, dad B., and I did get out a little bit.
I did return to work last week. I am trying to communicate with my supervisor as to my needs, while keeping up with my job duties.
How do I feel currently feel about my situation? Cared about - even strangers express empathy. This is something I thought I would never experience again. I had experienced an outpouring of empathy and care, after 911 during my previous flight attendant career. I must admit I do wish sometimes that I was in a different situation. Life does throw curve at you sometimes...knock it out of the park. People are making the process easier to deal with.
