Below are two pictures that show the pump of O' Chemo! It shows what is in Wilson. (Remember? my fanny pack...) Also how it's connected to me! I'll post a picture soon of me just to show you all that I can walk around on my feet! I still have that pouch with me 2 days after each treatment of chemotherapy. I'm really anxious about getting everything over with. It's a drag. I'm overly tired of being tired and being in pain. However, the other day I stretched and did as many breathing exercises as I could and felt much better. I can't wait to hit the outdoors again for some major work outs!
This is how the pump is connected. A big needle stuck into a big piece of plastic under my skin...

So, this is me! With chemotherapy...5 FU. This was back in December of 08'. I carried around this pump and it was usually a much larger bag of chemo with me for 6 weeks. No breaks besides two days for Thanksgiving break! The purple sticker on the bag says "Caution, Cytotoxic Substance."
