Tomorrow, tomorrow!

Well, tomorrow (Oct. 31) is the big day. First day of chemotherapy treatment. I'm not really nervous, I'm just ready.

What I am nervous about is how chemotherapy is going to make me feel. What will chemotherapy feel like going into the port? How long will my appointment be? Can I use the bathroom during treatment? I expect to be tired, but I wonder when, and how often? On the "bad days," will it be all day, just a few hours, or every other hour? When I get home tomorrow, will I want to sleep for the rest of the day or stay awake and watch movies? And most importantly, what will my Halloween costume be? :P These are questions I won't be able to answer for a while (or at least until tomorrow!).

Last night, I joined a chat group hosted by the LLS for young adults living with blood cancers. There were only a few others in the group and it seems that they had all finished their treatment. Their advice was to stay positive and let others help me when I need it. I've also heard from friends and family that I should start my treatment countdown after tomorrow. Step one to healing, success, survival!
