Chemo is not so bad when you arrive in style ... a lovely black convertible BMW. This morning Caroline was my chemo escort and what a lovely escort she was! We arrived at the Cancer Centre is fine time ... 9:25 a.m. As I got checked in Caroline went on a Tim Horton's run. Then we got settled in the room and waited for over an hour for my chemo meds to come (from the Pharmacy down the hall).
I don't normally complain about my chemo nurses but today's nurse was a total crab! Honest to God she's not well suited for the job. When I asked for my ice mittens and slippers she was short and curt. Not a good start to my five hour visit. Thankfully when she went on break and lunch, I got the royal treatment from another LOVELY nurse. She definitely made up for what the other lacked.
Caroline and I had decided that we would go to the movies after chemo ... excellent ... we decided on State of Play (excellent choice). By 2:00 p.m. we were packing up my blanket and our magazines ... with time to spare we agreed that a quick shop at Winner's was in order! So far this day was proving to be a success! After shopping we headed to the movies, followed by a quick dog walk, and then DQ! Honestly, I can't think of a better way to end a chemo day!
As usual I'm bracing myself for the Neulatus shot tomorrow. However, this time I have stronger pain meds and an appointment for acupressure. Hopefully it will be better than last time! Five down one to go!!

Hey Tracey. I'm sorry I missed you when you came by the Connaught the other day. I hope the meds and the acupressure help you get through this round with less pain.
