Got the chemo pack taken off today. Was not nearly as painful as it was to put it in, I am happy to say. Getting it removed was certainly a welcomed event but I won't complain about having to carry it around and sleep with it for the past few days. It is a much better option than having to be confined to a chair for long periods of time.
The pump was administering a small dose of the drug every 1 1/2 minutes and had to be consistently maintained for a certain number of hours. So far, I think I have tolerated the drugs reasonably well, but time will tell. Takes a while for the drugs to build up in my system. Let's just hope this is doing exactly what we want it will do. This will be a carefully waged war; to see what my body can take and what the cancer cannot.
Be strong!
