1st chemotherapy
Well I had my 1st chemotherapy on Friday 9th and it did not go as I expected. I was at the hospital for approx 5 hours and access to my portacath was difficult due to the swelling but they did manage...

Hi Kathryne
I am so sorry that your first chemo was such a nightmare. I am beginning to realise that maybe I was so lucky that the anti-nausea medication worked so well for me. I did take all except the backup supply dutifully. Definitely keep talking to your oncologist and the nurses because they can and will find a way to make it at least liveable.
I changed to Taxotere for my last chemo and the amount of anti-nausea medication was next to nothing in comparison and I was still okay. I'm not sure what drugs you are having but i'm sure they'll be able to adjust somehow.
All the very best and I will be thinking of you.
