PTSD and the Chemo Suite

On Tuesday I had to go get an infusion for osteoperosis due to the chemo meds and menopause.  

This was my first time back in the chemo suite in almost a year and let me tell you I had all the feels.  The day didn't start great.  I was dealing with side effects from my Nerlynx so I already wasn't feeling good.

As the day progressed I just had more and more anxiety and uneasiness.  I really wasn't sure why.  Last time I got this infusion I was really sick the next day so I thought may be that was it.  Just dreading being sick and trying to double up on fluids to prevent it.

But as I walked down the hallway I realized that was just part of it.  My body has no good memories of the chemo suite.
