WARNING graphic chemo details don't read if you are a WUSS!

Day after chemo, before Lupron and some other shot
went in my ass thigh, but really MY ASS!

Oh Chemo drugs, I love to hate you bitches! I didn't blog yesterday...because shit started to get real. I felt fine after chemo, except for the lovely taste of terapia in my mouth. YUCK! Then my stomach felt as if I had one to many margaritas. You know the feeling. Full, then empty, then burning, then meh.

The night was rough, I felt so bad, like drunk/hangover bad. I was so nauseous but was determined to stay anchored to my bed because I knew if I got off shit was going to hit the fan...like for real and not for fake. I made it through the night but got out of bed ready to unleash the fury! I had barely slept, just focused on trying to keep everything in...it didn't stay like that for long...it was ready to come out!

Sometimes I wish when they told you to bring your ass to the hospital at 8:00 they meant 8:00 like regular working people time and not Cuban time. I live in Dallas, not in Miami, I realize that there is a 15 minute "grace/635/alarm/accident/Boob Chica" window to where it's acceptable to be just a little late. But an hour and 5 minutes? Oh no MA'AM! A girl got up, beat the face, put on her riding boots and her new wig just for y'all! Plus I felt bad. It's so embarrassing to be given a barf tub while waiting in the hospital radiology wing. Yes you, with your perfect complexion and your red hair, you were worried about me fucking up your factory carpet with my pukes and gags weren't you? THANKS for drawing even more attention to me....I jacked the plastic barf tub that I didn't end up using! HA! Maturity....at it's finest. So yeah I got my radioactive shot late, which meant I got my scan late, and had to run to the oncology office (late) to get my WBC shot in one cheek and Lupron shot in the other. Got to send my ovaries into a dormant state people.

Why is it no one really talks about the diarrhea aspect of chemo. Like SERIOUSLY! Stop leaving that out of the commercials with the women in pink holding hands and singing! IT IS A LOT AND IT IS BAD! I bet I fit in some pants that didn't fit me last week. LOL I laugh, to keep from crying. You'd honestly think that I was eating tons of Valentina (hot sauce for all you 'muricans) because this girl was on FIIIYAAAAA! It literally feels as if I'm burning from the inside out. Don't eat, it burns, eat, it burns, don't drink, it burns, drink, it burns, suck on ice, it burns, I mean I can't quite figure out my cracker to water ratio to keep the burning at bay. Boob Chica is burning at both ends...wasn't aware I'd be both spitting and shitting fire! Don't get me started on the nausea meds...they work as much as diet pills. I'm hoping that some ginger in this green smoothie that's suppose to cure me of ALL helps me out in that department. Cabbage, spinach, raspberries, banana, ginger, and water. I'm suppose to stay away from all things dairy and stick to raw vegan pure organic...which is naturally expensive lol! Why is cancer so damn EXPENSIVE!? Anyways, I'm hoping a more gentle diet will help me out in the side effect department. Mom ordered me these cookbooks and Javi and been searching the Internet for recipes. He's prepared to give up snacking on football Sunday in favor of these green smoothies...RIGHT BABE?

So here's a quick recap

1. I feel bad
2. I feel good (laughing)
3. Sorry I'm not much for talking on the phone
4. Side effects two days post are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding gums, soreness of Scheana (port still), and my taste buds are....off. NO WATER DOESN'T TASTE LIKE WATER ANYMORE!
5. I haven't had the strength for a restart of couch to 5k :(
6. Yay Elisama and the Aleman-Ward crew came to visit me
7. Invansive Ductile Carcinoma will be henceforth referred to as IDC

Oh and if you are texting me about work.....I AM GOING TO IGNORE YOU! Just an FYI
