I am the worst rockstar ever! I didn't even make it three weeks! I was literally a non-functioning human, which does not equal rockstar status.:(
On to the next one............navelbine. These chemos keep getting weirder. I want to be on the team who gets to name them. I just had a vision, new TV show,"Who wants to be a Chemo Namer?"
This one actually comes from the periwinkle plant. Cool.
Here's the score: Navelbine-3, Carla-0
As soon as I got my 'quick' IV of the drug, I began to have intense 'indigestion' pain. It literally feels like a large object is stuck in my chest and throat. Great. Apparently, this might be because my cute little friend I like to call cancer, is in my sternum, and the chemo is working its magic in my sternum, RIGHT NOW. How crazy is that shit???? (One point for navelbine).
As this is happening, I am watching a cancer patient sitting across from me get chemo through her port for the first time. Ah, I remember the days...........it hurts like a bitch!!!!!!! See, nurses and doctors play this mean trick on you where they don't prescribe numbing cream until AFTER you feel the true pain of getting a nous (needle of unusual size) stuck in your port. Well, watching this poor woman (in her 50s) start crying like a child from the pain, really makes you think......cancer is the real deal. Fuck that!
Oh, navelbine scores points 2 and 3, my skin itches so bad all over I want to crawl out of it. And I already had diarrhea, I thought it was supposed to cause constipation! Ooh, ooh, let's play would you rather! Would you rather have diarrhea or constipation? Go!
