First day of chemo was today. I was a little nervous, but over all went well. Trying to get insurance to approve immunotherapy.

I haven’t suffered as much with immunotherapy compared to chemo. However, fatigue is an ongoing dude effect as these drugs are pumped into our bodies. I want to live longer and in better health don, I won’t complain …I’m still here and will roll with the punches until I can’t . Stay strong in the Spirit!
