Taco Tuesday

Now I've heard of castor oil but never actually seen it. Apparently it's the carrier for the medication in the Faslodex. So, I have never seen castor oil but I have certainly felt it being pushed into my muscle. My nurse is very sweet but I suspect she administers the drug too fast. I read it should take 1-2 minutes. She says it hurts her hand to push the syringe. Luckily today (or rather yesterday) we had to go into the bathroom where there are rails for me to grip onto as I try to relax the muscle. The chemo infusion area was so full there wasn't a room available. I wonder if people wonder what kind of treatment I'm getting when I go into the bathroom with the nurse.
Every month I come out of the cancer center all pissed off wanting to punch something or someone. Faslodex will do that to a person. The needle poke is one thing. Pain, ok fine. But the injection 250 mls of castor oil thickness makes me want to punch. And that's 250 in each side, hip above butt.

And then I come out dancing like in the ad:
