Chemo makes my clothes fall off????

I met with my doctor and nurse practitioner this afternoon. My blood work is looking very good and we are ready to begin chemo tomorrow morning. The first day looks like a shorter day, but could be the day where I feel most lousy because this first drug has an alchohol base to it...it appears that I could feel like I have a hangover...minus the booze...oh great!! We'll see if chemo makes my clothes fall off!! :)

I will get chemo now for the next 6 days and if all goes well my new birthday will be next Wednesday, November 18th when I get my stem cells back. They anticipate that I will tolerate the chemo pretty well, but did warn me that the days that I will feel the worst will begin 4 days after my transplant and go for about a week. I'm not focusing on that right now, just keeping my eye on the ball for tomorrow and getting admitted to the hospital.

My friend Rita is with me this week and has brought a breathe of fresh air to me..she has been so supportive and has brought so much humor and laughter to me. It's been a healing week being with this special lady and I'm honored to have her with me.
