Today was my last experience with AC chemo. AC chemo is quite toxic and the nurse has to wear protective gear to administer it. I think I've done a pretty good job psyching myself up to receive AC chemo each time. AC chemo looks like Campari, which I have enjoyed in the past and even referred to as my "poison." Campari has had some odd ad campaigns. This one in particular seems fitting - I imagine the AC fairy delivering my poison to the exact right location. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to drink Campari again, though...
My friend Kristin went with me to chemo and was a very calming presence. I also had a wonderful nurse who administered the chemo very slowly. My friend and colleague Ina came to pray with me during the chemo administration and I definitely felt better after this chemo than after the last one that was administered too quickly. Kristin made me some root vegetable soup that tasted incredibly nourishing. I ate two giant bowls of soup when I got home and I rested very well that afternoon and evening.
