How I Felt During Chemo - From a Mesothelioma Survivor

I was in the chair for about seven hours. They wanted to, put drips one at a time. It was a long day, but, I just brought something to read, an iPad. So I just think of it as air airline flight. You're just sitting in a chair, best to bring something to eat. But the treatment itself wasn't bad because you just sit there and let the juice get dripped into you. When I got out of the session, I felt like I could drive home even though my daughter was there work with me, as a precaution in case I couldn't. But I felt fine. I felt fine that night. In fact, we actually stopped at a restaurant and got a little bite to eat. The next morning, I felt wiped, completely drained. I just was lethargic. My eyes were really glassy and, had sort of a real hungover look. The first day was the worst, but it was about three days, to where I could walk from one place of the house to the other place of the house to sit down again rather than just lay in bed. I still knew that I had to eat. Those were one of the things that I had to force myself to do was to eat food and, to still just move around a little bit. By the fourth day, I was feeling much better. I, my daughter came up for that weekend. We took my grandchild to the park. We played at the park, and we just had a a nice low key, but enjoyable outdoor day. I was also told by the lady that was giving me my chemo juice that this particular type of, chemo treatment does not make you lose your hair, but she said do expect some thinning after two or three weeks. So I haven't experienced that yet, but she said just don't do anything to it. Don't don't color it. Don't brush it a lot. Don't, overly, shampoo it. Just let it drip dry. She said the less is better. So that's good. I feel like that's always a a real tough thing when women lose their hair. I know it would be for me, but that was one of the things that I said that I'm gonna do this journey, and I was, going to put up with. And I hope it doesn't, happen. I hope it doesn't thin too much. But that'll just be part of my journey if it does.
