Unicornkisses, thanks for your reply. I totally get how nervous you are about having a reaction during or after it. I went through chemo with my mum in 2015 for lung cancer( she passed away) and one of her chemos was paclitaxel. Her first infusion when perfect but everyone after that she would have a reaction. Mostly it was a hot burning sensation all over her body, but once they stopped the drip it would go away. So every infusion she'd get more phenergon and instead of taking a hour they ran it over two. When I first started my paclitaxel I was freaking out waiting for something terrible to happen because I saw it happen to my mum, but I never got a reaction. Was your reaction similar to this?.
I already see a psychologist under the gp mental health plan. I've been going for 3 years now. He has been a saviour throughout my mum's diagnosis and death, I've been in some very dark places mentally. Will look into the chemo fact sheets definitely. I'm sure I will be given them on the day of infusion. My god what a journey this is but I'm so grateful for all you lovely ladies.
