Treatment begins

Treatment starts tomorrow. I am happy to get started. It seems strange to feel that way, given all the possible side effects that can occur. However, it’s the real beginning of the process to being cancer free. I do feel some apprehension because so much ahead is unknown. The list of possible side effects from the chemo drug (Xeloda) is long. Instead of the list, someone could have just written “Anything you can think of and a few things you never would have”. In addition, different people experience different side effects at different times with varying severity. Some even make it through will very few problems. I don’t expect any problems tomorrow or any day this week. I do expect something sometime. I don’t know what it will be or when it will happen. That is what is causing my apprehension. But for now, let’s just get it going.
