Chemo 10.4

Nausea kicked in a bit at the end of the day yesterday, and although I started the day with a lot of energy, I ended feeling kind of drained. So far, so good today.

I just got back from my lung test, and that went well. The doctor didn't have all the results, but those he had looked very good, which is a relief. I wish I had taken my camera so I could have grabbed a shot of the "blow booth", which looked like a cross between a phone booth and Woody Allen's "Orgasmatron".

It works like this: You sit down on a stool in a glass booth, wrap your mouth around the plastic snorkel, the doctor puts a clamp on your nose, and you pretty much suck and blow until your vision turns black. You do that a bunch of different times, the doctor and nurse praise you each time, and then you are done. (I felt so cheap)
