I had my my sixth chemo today, which means I could be half way through the chemotherapy (8 may still be the halfway mark). The nurse started with an injection of anti-nausea medication as usual, but this time she waited about 10 minutes before starting the first bag of chemo. She hoped this would prevent me from feeling nauseous while getting chemo (as I did 2 of the last 3 times) and it seemed to really work.
I didn't feel that bad at all, other than the general "they've poisoned me!" feeling, and a bit of chill from getting 2 liters of cold liquid pumped into my bloodstream, everything went fine. I even took a bit nap.
It was the first time getting chemo through my "ipod cable", and that worked pretty slick. Nice to be able to avoid the needle and those industrial medical bandages that rip a whole toupe of hair of my arm when they pull them off.
