Another treatment done! (Chemo 1b, day 16)

 Update on yesterday:  Well, another treatment of ABVD bites the dust and I've officially completed one round of chemotherapy, leaving me with 5 more rounds and 10 treatments. They almost didn't do the treatment yesterday right away because of my blood counts were super low and said I just barely slipped by without needing a blood transfusion because of my hemoglobin count (I think)...my potassium count was almost nonexistent too, so I got lectured on that and the importance of potassium rich foods in my diet, so more banannas for me! I also lost a lot of weight which they weren't thrilled about, but whatever...I really am eating when I can the best I can!
I feel pretty good. Ish. And mainly feel really run down and just a tad bit nauseous with a side of the runs...I'm hoping the mouth pain and sores stay away and so do the jaw and joint pain and the horrible sleepless nights (I did however get sleep aide this time, so yay!)
We'll see!
Port accessed and ready to use!

Here I was undergoing treatment number 2!
