This is one of my lists for March’s theme of “Lists” for nablopomo, which I am miserably failing at keeping up and or writing lists at least once a day. April’s theme is “Letters.” Go here if you want the details.

Chemo sessions I had: 12

Duration of each chemo session: 3-5 hours via IV

Frequency of chemo: Once every 14 days

Days I was bedridden from chemo: ~72 days

Times I puked from having chemo: 432 - 864 (that figures about 6-12 times each of the 72 days)

Hair lost: every strand on head & body except eyebrows

Neupogen shots I received to boost my system so chemo wouldn’t be delayed: 48

Radiation therapy sessions: 10

Duration of radiation: 45 seconds front & 45 seconds back (kind of like roasting or grilling) I think it was 45 seconds.. can’t remember now.

Preparation time before radiation: 15 minutes

Lives we’ve been gifted as a result of all the above: 3 (my very own, and our 2 children)
