Well this week I am going to have a "port put into my chest. I am under the assumption that it is a tube that sticks out of my chest for the chemo they'll pump into me. That is going to be weird! Also this week a PETSCAN to see if cancer is anywhere else in my body. I am a little worried about that one! Hopefully my ass is the only infected area! Also this week I have chosen to quit smoking cigarettes. I refuse to smoke after I have been diagnosed! Just what kind of a wake-up call does it take to quit smoking?I just can't sit out in the hospital parking lot pulling on a smoke while others are walking in for their chemo treatments. Just seems wrong on SO many levels!
I have heard from a few people that chemo makes you sick and unable to work.Well just who is going to pay my mortgage and bills while I go through this? My wife is going to be stressed out enough helping me go through this and I refuse to add to our circumstances by being unable to work! I must try my hardest to nourish myself accordingly and be strong physically to make it through any nausea I feel while I go through this treatment. I have had practice with that already actually! I can work sick. I have done it a handful of times at work anyways!
Just a note to my Mom: I have started to read Chapter 5! Going to read it a few times so the good stuff sticks to my brain okay?
Thats all for this morning! I have to take my son to the hospital this morning to have his hand x rayed for a possible dislocation he got while wrestling this last weekend. I think by the time this is all said and done I will be pretty sick of hospitals! Here's hoping his wrist is just sprained. I will write more later!
