Night after chemo
Hi everyone
Thank u so much for all your kind responses and invaluable advice.
I think it is really the fear of the unknown regarding the chemo.
I had a lovely nurse who explained everything to me...

Mine didn't worry about some things I said but got quite concerned about something I nearly didn't mention.
Remember we all are different and what you react to may not affect others.
My onc wanted me to tell him what I ate or took including herbal supplements and otc meds like fish oil or whatever since some react with the meds he was giving me.
i Didn't like not sleeping for week while on the dex mex stuff they gave us 7 years ago with Taxol.
I was very concerned id miss meds due to tiredness and lack of sleep or take too much so wrote everything down in my diary amount and time taken. Also helped me tell onc what I had felt or how long I was nauseous had migraine for etc.
Also found it a lot easier once I realised had to drink more water before infusions which eased cannula issues
Hope this helps,
Carol
