Chemo - 1 down, 5 to go

I had my first chemo session today, so I have officially started my breast cancer fight. It took ages - I got there at 9am and by the time I had a blood test, met with the oncologist, waited for them to prepare the chemo, got hooked up in the chemo suite then actually received all of the drugs, it was 2pm before I was done. Drugs were delivered by IV in my hand, which didn't really hurt, and I felt ok enough afterwards to have a big lunch (possibly not the best idea!) But I have to admit that I am now feeling a bit sick and a bit tired. I think that I have some quality couch time coming up over the next few days, probably with a sick bucket close to hand :( Oh well, hopefully if it is making me feel ill it is doing something really nasty to those pesky cancer cells!
