Episode 102: Breaking Down My Treatment: Cisplatin

What Actually Happens During Chemo (The Stuff No One Puts On A Brochure) You get handed a pile of pamphlets, a diagnosis, and about sixty days to "figure it out." That's it. That's the prep. In this episode, Stacy breaks down exactly what her cisplatin chemo looked like, from the cannula going in to the crocs-and-socks combo that got her through it, and why the thing that actually hurt the most wasn't the needle at all. If you've ever felt like you had to just wing it through the scariest weeks of your life because nobody handed you a real manual, this one's for you. What You'll Learn Why recording your doctor's appointments might be the single most useful thing you do, and how "chemo brain" makes it near impossible to remember what was said in the room The small, practical hacks (elevating your legs, shaving your arms, packing your own food) that made long treatment days more bearable What the side effects actually felt like versus what was on the seven pages of paperwork, from taste changes to fatigue that hits differently than normal tired Why hardship has a way of showing you exactly who your people are, and why the person supporting you needs just as much care as you do How to hold onto perspective when your mind runs straight to worst-case scenarios (spoiler: the paperwork usually says "rare" for a reason) If any part of this hit home, you're not alone in it, and you don't have to figure the rest out by yourself either.
