CHEMO INFUSION #3 (Yesterday)!

Morning ritual!!! Jamie, Andi, Zack and I all wear our Breast Cancer bracelets (one of my Sisters friends made us) 🎀

Had to do an “ALL PINK” chemo day!!! 💗💗💗

The nerves were fierceeee going into this infusion. I was so anxious!! The anticipation of feeling like death just sucks! I tried holding off on the Ativan but my nerves were taking over. My husband encouraged me to take it which I am glad I did!! It helped me calm down and get through the infusion!

Obsessed with these socks my friend Johannah gifted me! Fred picked the wrong b!tch!!! 💪

For some reason hair prep for the cold cap is always hilarious!!! The conditioner bottle kept making a farting noise! My husband and I were dying 🤣 So mature!! LOL

Ready to go!!! Last photo is me receiving acupuncture in the chemo chair which is so amazing they provide that service to their patients! I also got a massage!! 💆‍♀️

ICYYYY hair chunks post cold capping!!! 🧊

I F’D up!!!

I was extremely tired during my infusion this time around (we just assumed it was from the Ativan). Although on the drive home I felt really off…. I was chatting with my sister and she said “that’s weird, you took the steroids”? And that’s when it dawned on me that I am supposed to take 2 tablets in the AM and PM the day before and the day of chemo and I only took 1 tablet. I am SO upset! I mean I’m a nurse… how did I mess this up. I’m so organized/type A with a million checklists!! UGHHH thank you chemo brain! It’s the day after chemo and I feel awful. It’s 12:45 and I’m still in bed. Severe fatigue with some nausea. I started the correct steroid dose last night when I figured it out and this morning… praying that helps! I YI YI!

Thank you everyone for doing this damn thing with me! The love and support that pours in every day is so heartwarming!! I never ever feel alone and that’s such a blessing! Love you all!
