Chemotherapy education

Today I went to the hospital again and was introduced to the chemotherapy ward. I sat down with a nurse and was given several information pamphlets and was talked through what drugs are going to be used and possible side effects.  Not very nice stuff 🙁

I will be doing the ABVD regime, which is the international standard for treatment of Hodgkin’s Disease.

My first session of drugs is tomorrow morning. I feel anxious and a bit afraid.

Today Dad arrived from Bathurst. He was present in the education session along with Mum and Marika. We went out for dinner to a steak restaurant which was a really nicely cooked steak.

Tomorrow at the chemotherapy ward I will also get a full listing of dates of when I will be having the injections. This will be useful to have, especially for Mum & Dad to allow them to plan their trips down to Melbourne a bit easier.
