THANK YOU for Your Prayers...Wasn't a bad time...I was there from 11am until about 3:34pm. Took snacks. Had one shot in my belly for nausea, and 2 bags of nausea meds. Then 2 different Chemo bags. The first bag burned going in, so they slowed down the IV and it was better, but took 50 min instead of 30 minutes. The 2nd bag took 45 instead of 30, it was smaller. Everyone was very nice and informative. My nurse was a lot like me. Didn't like her at first as she couldn't get the IV in. But the 2nd one did, and from then on the first nurse, Nurse 3, was forgiven and was very smart about the procedure. Met a couple of patients. Everyone was in lounge chairs. The person next to me asked about what they were giving me. I had no idea. I wasn't sure if the person was a guy or girl. But learned she had breast cancer. Forgot her name, but she read my orders and we STILL had no idea what they were. I think she has one more treatment and then they are doing surgery. All in all it wasn't a bad time. No one seemed sickly or had any emergencys. They have water for free, but the snacks you have to pay for..atleast SOME of them. No TV, but you can bring your laptop or use your phone and watch videos, music, or play games. But today, I rarely played games...I was too busy watching what was going on. Very interesting to see what everyone was doing. Better than TV. LOL Time just flew by.

I'm glad your procedure went well. It angers me that they would charge for snacks.

First of all, I’m so glad you made it okay. We’ll continue those prayers for you. The second thing, and far less important, is the audacity to charge people there for snacks.

I'm glad it wasn't a worse experience. When do you have to go again?

I'm glad things went somewhat good, I hate when they do blood test on me cause it's so hard to get it to take, they have to find the right spot that takes 2-3 X's to find. BUT I did get some good news Monday from my new primary Dr about how my health is doing from when I was in the hosp 3 yrs ago from my gallbladder & Pancreas collapsing on me that about killed me twice.

@Ghostlady they had no choice but to take mine out it attacked my pancreas, my liver, my kidneys, & now I have Type 2 diabetes from it. BUT now that I have seen my primary care Dr, he says I'm doing a 95% better than where I was 3 yrs ago & going to take me off my fast acting Insulin cause of the other meds I'm on that's doing the SAME thing & it's not helping.

@2ndchances24 When I lived in Mexico years ago, I got sick.Nothing, not even water would stay down. My Sister-in-law took me to a Medicine Lady. She gave me a heaping tablespoon of baking soda, a glass of Chamomile Tea witht he flowers still in it, and massaged the calves of my legs. Sent me home to eat Baked Toast with Butter. I ended up eating 5 pieces of toast, I was starving and it all stayed down. That was on a Monday. By Friday I turned Yellow. From my Mother-in-laws house I walked to the little clinic, and the doctor sent me to get a blood test for Hepititus.3 days later I found out I did not have Hepititus, but she said I probably had a blockage from my stomach to my liver, But I still think it was a gallstone that backed up to my liver. I don't speak or understand Spanish, and my daughter was learning pretty fast, and she did the talking to the doctor. Haven't had that kind of problem since then, but my right side hurts occassionally, but if I burp real good it quits. LOL
