Journal entry by Gena Gilas —
Its Tuesday June 19th, and I’m sitting in the minor procedure office at Franklin Kaiser with my mom...today has been rough, Ive been saying how none of this feels real since finding out just 2 weeks ago, but today the port which is the way I’m getting my chemo is freaking me out. The nurses are saying its a simple procedure I shouldnt have any pain so Im hopeful thats the case. I had a super sweet nurse who came to tell me her moms story and told me that her doctors told her that shed be pretty sick with the chemo, but sje really didn’t have any side effects at all, so hopefully that will be my story too!
The procedure starts at 3:10, will be done by 4:00, then hanging out until 5:00 to make sure its okay. Then its time to eat! Lol I haven’t eaten since Melting pot last night and I’m starving!! Craving PF CHangs, so thats the plan!
