Fills, chemo training and CT Scan

Whew! This Linda lady is going to drive me crazy!

Now backing up, I see Linda tomorrow to do 'chemo training'.
I'm thrilled if you can't tell :)
I have yet to know if she will be part of my whole chemo routine or not.

Friday I have a CT scan on my lungs. This is mostly precautionary, I pushed for it, they weren't sure it was necessary. However they did say, if it's in your lungs we'll find out eventually. I haven't been sleeping and I've been Google-ing WAY too much so I pushed to have peace of mind now instead of just waiting. I should have just done this sooner, like when I had the brain MRI done. I don't know why I put myself through the waiting. Stupid idea!

Yesterday I had my first "fill". 50cc on each side.
This is an instant gratification moment, hahaha!!
One of the strangest feelings in the world at the moment is watching a needle stick in my skin and not feel it. As far as I'm told I won't have feeling ever again. I think I'm young enough that eventually maybe nerves will repair over time. Only time will tell. The body does amazing things.
Speaking of which it's currently pissed off again though. More stretching muscle, feels almost the same as the days right after surgery.

My first chemo session is from 10-1 on Monday, June 2nd.
Thank you to those that have offered to take me. I need to make a decision soon.
Please don't take offense if you've offered and I haven't said anything...
This is going to be one of the hardest sessions I think. It's going to be new, scary and I don't know what to expect. Everyone feels different so they can't tell me what to expect really either. I may have side-effects right away or not until Thursday, another time will tell moment.

Tomorrow I will have the full chemo schedule and will post details this weekend.

See the "Universal Fill Kit" below.
I felt like it was a car part :)

Be polite.
I'm letting anyone so you can remain anonymous.
Please don't make me regret this decision.
