Today, I went to the hospital to get my 2nd dose of chemotherapy. The nurse was nice and asked me about the reactions from the 1st chemo. Then we agreed to slow down the Dacarbazine component which was the culprit that burnt my veins. Instead of introducing that component in 1 hour we did it in 2 hours. That was really relieving, I didn't feel the burn or itch while it was invading my blood vessels.
I drove to the hospital with the best companion: my wife. My mother and my step-father came to visit us. Also, my father-in-law came to drive me back home safely. It is really valuable when our family relationships are as strong as they are. It feels like receiving courage and love ♥️.
Finally, when I arrived home I felt better than after the 1st chemo. I have the sensation of having something in my body that's not me (obviously). Again, I will start drinking around 4 liters of water and/or juice to drain all these chemicals out. That way, I reduce the crazy effects of the ABVD chemo.
I will try to post an update daily during the first week of my first chemo. Stay tuned!
