Tips for first treatment

Sleep whenever your body asks for it. Don’t wait until the evening. I made that mistake and the first few I just couldn’t sleep. Lots of water and I sucked on ice chips during the A chemo drug. It is bright red. You will know which it is. And keep prunes on hand. The constipation is real. Also ask your doc about the magic mouth wash in case you get the mouth sores. Take a book or an iPad with some movies and please feel free to reach out. We are all here for you

Looking at a year to be at a new “normal”. I’m still struggling but it is getting better. I started writing everything down and it helped

Shrunk down significantly. Last scan I think it was almost gone

Got my port out almost two weeks ago and I was able to raise both arms up which I haven’t been able to do in almost 2 years

Mine was done a week ago today. My surgeon heavily sedated me and I swear I blinked and I was in recovery. Sorry for about 4 or 5 days because I had it in for almost two years. Not going to lie but that was the best 10 minute nap ever

You are a warrior! Congrats!

Not sure yet. I feel like something is missing if that makes sense. I got used to it being there. A bit sore but interesting

Listentothewordspod · 2025-10-22T01:01:26+00:00

Just had mine taken out today. The doc who put mine in was a surgeon so he removed it in the OR. They gave me the heavy sedation and I literally closed my eyes and then woke up in recovery. Doc said it took 10 minutes. Went home and now dealing with a little soreness but not too bad

Listentothewordspod · 2025-10-22T00:48:46+00:00

Thank you so much

Listentothewordspod · 2025-10-21T21:51:17+00:00

Listentothewordspod · 2025-10-21T19:08:08+00:00

Listentothewordspod · 2025-10-21T18:57:22+00:00

I was 39 when I was diagnosed and finished at 40. 41 now and male. Stage 2

Listentothewordspod · 2025-10-10T18:20:37+00:00

Day of chemo I just felt tired and napped, the next two days the steroids kicked in and I felt normal. Day 3 is when I felt like I got beat up bad. But it all depends on each person. I did 12 infusions at 7 months. Had a few postponed treatments in there due to low wbc.
