Chemo Session 2

No trouble with my blood this time so I am now in chemo # 2. My baby white blood cells were a bit below what they wanted to see but my platelets were back to normal so they said I was good to go. The doctor dropped the amount of Oxyplatin by 10% in hopes that my blood does not get as depleted as it did for session 1. We left for Wilmington about 7:15 and got home about 2:30. One long morning getting chemical poisons put into my body. I was pretty tired by the time I got back home. Go back to Wilmington for a 12:15 extraction of the pump on Friday. Till then I have to carry this little belly bag purse everywhere I go. What a pain! Mike Chemo Session 2 I had my second chemo yesterday And how am I now feeling by the way? My stomach’s a bit queasy And my bottom’s somewhat breezy But really it’s too early yet to say And then there is the chemo’s little curse The pump and chemo in its little purse Wear it like a belly bag Or just grab it and drag I’m not really sure just which is worse And when you sleep the bag’s there by your side Tethered through a tube right to your hide You must sleep all alone For your bed’s a danger zone If anyone says different, well, they lied The pump can bug you in so many ways Luckily you wear it just 3 days Then they pull it from your port While the cancer it will thwart The deadly chemical inside you stays So there you have it, now I sit and wait The poison’s running through me by this date I wait for the side effects From this cancer hex And then it’s just a matter, friend, of fate Mdailey 6/1/11
