It has begun

Yesterday I had my first Chemo treatment.  The meds they used are a combination called FEC for breast cancer.  I took two ativan before I went and pretty much slept through the whole thing.  Brian, Michael and Nicole accompanied me, which I was grateful for.  The rest of the day, I slept off and on between eating, drinking and sort of watching a movie.

Today, I had my port put in, a permanent IV line for receiving medication and also for blood to be drawn from.  This will reduce the number of needle pokes I get over the coming year.

Good news today:  Brian's niece, Jamie and her husband had a baby boy named Edward!  Both mom and baby are doing well.
