Went into a room in the "chemo area". I usually sit out with the rest of the patients when I go for a port flush. The nurse ordered the drugs from the pharmacy. There were 2 syringes of 250ml each. Nurse told me to bend the leg slightly on the side she was injecting. It goes in the muscle at hip level in the butt. One syringe on each side: 500mls total. The poke wasn't so bad but the stuff going in was painful. It has to be injected slowly and it hurts. Like a deep hurt. Like I felt woozy for a moment. Then the other side. Ugh! I get it again in 2 weeks then 2 weeks after that and then once a month. I'll be taking it as long as it keeps the cancer under control. I can deal with the injections as long as it works! I'm worried about insurance/Medicaid/Medicare covering the cost.
And gotta have a funny one:
