2nd Cycle 1 - First Time at the Chemotherapy Center

Yesterday was the day for the second chemotherapy treatment.
I went along! Since I happened to be off work!
It's different from doing it while hospitalized, so I was wondering what it would be like.

9:00 AM blood test
After 10:00 AM, internal examination
11:00 AM, chemotherapy center
4:00 PM finished
It was a full day's work.

At the chemotherapy center, there are reclining chairs separated by curtains in a large room, and you just sit there and wait for the IV fluid to drip.
At the end, they connect a pump bottle and that's it.
That's all!!

About 3 hours for saline, anti-nausea medication, and magnesium.
About 2 hours for the two types of anticancer drugs after that.
The pump bottle takes 46 hours to administer, so we go home with it hanging.

But it was long. You could watch two movies, you know?
My husband said, 'I'll bring a charger next time.'
You can eat light snacks, and of course, you can bring in drinks.
I was only able to accompany him until before the anticancer drugs were administered.
However, you are free to come and go, so if there's something you need, you can go in right away.

My husband has a port, so he's fine, but I think it must be really tough for those who have it injected into their veins because they can't move!
I'm really glad he has a port.

But what on earth is that guy!!!!
Again, there are no side effects! Nothing!
Yesterday, compared to someone with SLE, ITP, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, a stoma, cancer of unknown primary, and peritoneal dissemination, I, the healthy one, was more exhausted.

Why?

It's a good thing. Yes, it's a good thing.
That there are no side effects!
But you know, it makes you wonder, 'Is it working?'
Of course, there might be side effects that aren't noticeable.
Like in the blood data.
I think I might be the healthiest I've been in the last few years.

For now, I want back all the mental anguish I spent worrying incessantly.
I was thinking so much about things like: What if he can't eat anymore! What if he can't even drink water and gets dehydrated again! If he goes bald, I'll laugh out loud! Will I be able to tell the difference between 'the bad stuff' and 'normal side effects'? What if I mess up!
He's out and about carefree again today!
With his anticancer drugs hanging!

This is like a hot spring.
Let's charge him for the hot spring fee.
It's compensation for my mental suffering!
It's a serious shakedown!!!
