Day 1 of Chemo
Chrissy's POV
They put what they call a Port in my upper chest, yes it hurt but I know that it will help me get threw this cancer. This time I only winced and whimpered a little bit. Both of my parents we here with me, which I am grateful for. Then I went back to suite 46 in the oncology department, where they gave me my first dosage of chemotherapy. It burned and made me fill like I was going to throw up. So I laid back, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.
When I woke up my parents were gone, so I started freaking out. I guess my nurse, Tori, heard me so she came in.
"Chrissy, Chrissy, you are okay. They'll be right back they went to get some dinner, ok? Do you want me to stay with you?"
"Yes please." I mummble. It will be nice to have someone to talk to.
"Ok I can stay with you."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome, sweetie." Tori says sweetly.
She sits on the bed that I am laying on and I sit the bed up so we can talk, she helps me adjust the pillow so I am more comfortable, then the blankets. Then, I think her.
"How was your first round of chemo?"
"Alright I guess, but it made me weak and then I felt like I was going to throw up."
"That will happen a lot, to you, just to let you know."
"How do you know that?"
"Well, for one I've seen many people with cancer, and two I actually got cancer when I was 18, I'm 24 now and so I think I have experience, you could say."
"You had cancer? What kind?"
"Same kind as you."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"So you know what I'm going through?"
"Yes. I'm here for you anytime, day or night, here I'll even right down my cell number for you, just incase you want to talk and I'm not at work, okay?"
"Thanks that would be great!"
She hands me a piece of paper with her name (Tori) and her number on it XXXXXXX 312-556-2025.
Then my parents walk in, I put the paper under my pillow and then she walks out the door
