Getting my first shot tommorow.

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I haven't started my treatments yet but just wanted to tell you I hope that

you will not have bad sides.

Have a safe and happy Holiday

Hugs

Just a note to let you all know that I am starting my therapy

tommorow. I have to go to the Doctors office at 2:30. I didn't wind

up qualifying for the study I was trying to get into, but I got free

meds from the Commitment to Care Program which came via UPS on

Tuesday. I still have to pay for my lab tests and doctors visits but

at least they are on a sliding scale. I really do not know what to

expect. I'm a bit nervous but I also know that God has carried me

through so much in my life and He will carry me through this if I

need Him to. Can anyone tell me what their first shot was like and

what happened or how they felt? Did you feel ill? If so, did it

happen right away or a few days later? Would you suggest I plan on

4th of July (Sunday), or do you think I will feel like celebrating?

I talked to one person who has been through treatment (it worked for

him) and he said that he was very ill. I just kind of want to know

if it happens right away and is it just around your shot days and

how long it usually lasts. I know everyone is different but I'd

really appreciate it if you could share some of your stories with

me. I don't mind the truth. I guess its the unknown that is the

scariest for me. Thanks so much for being here. I don't post a whole

lot, but I read everyone elses and it has helped me so much.

Sincerely,

My first shot was by far the worst...don't be nervous...you can handle it

The worst effects occured about 4 hours later

but if you are planning to do something a few days later, you'll probably be

fine

I put to much of my life " on hold " after the treatment...my mistake...enjoying

life...laughing....these are good preventive measures to some of the tx side

effects
