Back in the Chemo-Chair Again*

Back in the Chemo-Chair Again

Back in the chemo-chair again.
Back with the poison flowing in.
Well, the pillows here are nice,
'Cause they don't transmit no lice.
Back in the chemo-chair again.
 

Sorry about the line about lice, but it was the best I could do (chemo-brain?), and each patient does get a fresh pillow.

This was my 28th pemetrexed infusion at the University of Colorado Hospital since the fall of 2011.  I had six more in combination with cisplatin in Texas before moving to Colorado.  This was the first in my new chemo schedule--three three-week infusions followed by a nine-week break to allow my body to recover.  I'm looking forward to see how this works out.  Will it improve my sense of well-being?  Will it be as effective in holding my tumors at bay?  Time will tell.

*Sung to the tune of "Back in the Saddle Again."

  2. I'm hoping you are to the nine week break now?
