1st Chemo Done, Plus Iron Infusion!
Got my chemo pump removed today, (wore it the last 2 days), and got a much-needed iron infusion to get rid of my anemia!
For the next 6 mos I'll be getting a fresh chemo pump every 2 weeks, wearing it for 2 days.
The whole point of chemo is to SHRINK THE TUMORS! :) So I'll be getting MRIs and PET scans periodically to see if it's shrinking them (fingers crossed!).
So far I'm handling everything just fine.

You bring a lot of health and goodness to the world. Your service to others is invaluable and you should be very proud of that.

Thank you for continuing to post your updates. I was wondering if your anemia was related to the cancer or caused by it.

Great question, John! Yes, I'd never been anemic before, but the bleeding that can be associated with colon cancer led to the anemia, since I was losing more iron than I could replace through my normal diet. After my iron infusion yesterday, I'm already noticing some increased energy levels, which is awesome :)
Problem with iron is that tue body can only absorb a certain amount of iron at a time.
