California or bust

     So the day after I got home from visiting Lynette in Phoenix I had a doc appt to see how my porta cath was healing.  It looked fine, other than the nasty blisters I got all around it,  turns out I'm allergic to the tape.  I scheduled my chemo... we had a week before that, so we decided to go to California that afternoon.  It was a fun, quick 5 days but it was fun to go with Tony and relax and go where it's warm and go to the ocean, one of my favorite places in the whole world to be.
     It was NASCAR when I was in Phoenix, and NASCAR in Vegas too lol.... Phoenix was ok, but that just meant  there were no hotel rooms in the Vegas area!!! lol who knew :)  I am glad we went, I wish we could go a little longer but I am happy we got away for a minute.
     I start my chemo treatments tomorrow I am very nervous about it.  The thought of poison slowly dripping into my body really creeps me out.  And the side effects that is unknown until you start too.  I like to know what to expect and all of the details, but it's such an individual thing when it comes to chemo.  They told me I will have a metallic taste in my mouth while I am on the chemo so I have stalked up on mints and gum.
