Day 35 - Chemo Approved

I got up early, then took a nap.
I need reliable transport to go for the 12 weeks of chemo.
But before I go car shopping, I need to get the beetle running. It won't start. It feels like the starter is bad.

At 09:00 I am jacking the beetle up and stacking bricks under it.
I crawl under and started testing the starter. Even with jumper leads, I can not get it to turnover.
So I remove the starter. My back is starting to complain.
I get the starter on the bench, and it doesn't work at all now.
I call around and find an auto electrician close by. I walk about 3 km carrying the starter. Now my back really is not happy.
They say they can fix it in 24 hours. It will cost about 1000 Rand.
I have about 220 rand total cash, and about 500 in the bank. Note that it is the 9th of the month. :-(
I call a friend and whine, so he puts 5000 Rand in my account. But it will take a few days to clear.
I walk home in a round about route, going to many used car dealers.  I was looking at 2006-2009 VW Polos, and Toyota Carollas. All about 65,000-85,000 Rand. 4.5 to 5.5 Krugerrands.
Then I see 2 different Chevrolet Sparks one for 3 KR and one for 3.5KR. I start thinking about giving my friend 3KR and have him buy the car in his name. Then when I die, he just keeps it.

I arrive home and get an email from the medical aid saying my chemo has been approved. They approved the following for 6 infusions over a 6 week period.
Infusion with 0.2u filt       
Cipla paclitaxel vial 21.7ml  (130 mg) 
Cimetidine 100mg/ml 2ml        
Zofer
Onicit vial 5ml
Dexona ampoule 1ml
Phenergan 1ml
Sod chlor 0.9% 200ml

I only recognize the sod chlor .9% :-)

Then the phone rings. It is the Oncologist saying there is an opening for chemo tomorrow, do I want it? YES!
The Oncologist says to wear comfortable clothes. Bring a book and music with headphones. Bring some water, and small snacks.
I have to get there tomorrow at 08:00 because they have to do a blood test first, and the results will take about 2 hours. Then chemo at 10:30 for about 1 hour. Then I will sit around waiting for bad reactions and side effects. I should leave by 13:30 or 14:00.
She says I should be able to drive, but having someone else drive is always better. Since the beetle is up on bricks, I will use a taxi both ways. But I do not have enough cash for the taxi both ways. I'll have to make a plan.

So now I will drink plenty of water, and eat healthy. I am anxious about the chemo.
