Betts Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 My dad has completed his first cycle of chemo; day 1 of cisplatin and gencitabine and then day 8 of the gencitabine only. He has had quite an array of side effects, but is doing okay so far. This being our first experience with any type of cancer, I did not know what to expect when we got to the cancer center's infusion area. It was just emotionally overwhelming. There were so many people there to receive chemotherapy, some of them in pretty bad shape, and I just felt so bad for every one of them. I can only imagine what they are going through - it's just heartbreaking to see so many. To those of you who are going through this battle - you most definitely have my respect!

ernrol Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Somthing that helped me with my chemo was a DVD player and a good lunch. I sat there for 4 hours watched funny movies and had a picnic. You might try it. It worked for me. Stay positive, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowergirlie Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I remember feeling such a mix of emotions the first time we went into the cancer center and infusion room too. I think it speaks volumes that you feel this because you care...not everyone notices. Hang in there and keep us posted on your dads progress. Peace...Flowergirlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
