Newbie

On my first day here in treatment everyone could tell.  I wasn't sure how until today, when another first timer came in.  He was with his wife and between the two of them the vibe was massive.

The first day is truly scary, and in this couple's case they just were diagnosed a week or so before, unlike myself.  So in many ways for them it's double shock.  Your own personal reaction to the treatment is totally unknown and that is the worst part.  Add the whole process of coming to terms with the fact that you have cancer and it's rough.  

But it also shows how far I've come.  I'm full of anecdotes and helpful hints.  I've also helped about seven or eight people connect to the wi-fi networks with their laptops, and my fellow Internet junkies are well appreciative of that.

On the other side, Wednesday are starting to feel like Thursdays used to.  The bloated and tired feeling comes earlier, and my buzz from my Monday adventure wore away after Tuesday.

But my treatment overall continues to go well.  I've managed to use the same line for the whole week so far, and on my right arm that had the five weeks of rest.  This allows my left arm to rest for the final round.  The fewer pricks the better!
