@lgray3911 all the best for tomorrow, it can be a little daunting absolutely!Biggest thing you should be doing today is hydrate!!!! very important, mainly because it helps make it easier to find your vein. The Staff are wonderful and will step through each thing as its happening. I had FEC 3 weekly 4 times, I felt weird after first infusion as I left I felt like Id had too much to drink, everything was hazy and I felt quite unwell. Id had all the pre meds everything but it was odd. I went home and laid down but felt worse after a few hours. The next few days werent great but I came good about day 8, so they determined that I needed to be in hospital after each infusion. Im drug sensitive and unfortunately didnt cope with Chemo. I did have 8 Taxol weekly after that which was completely different but on top of FEC it accumulated and I wasnt great. Everyone is different, I went in very determined, but I had to let go of all expectation and control, it dictated how it was going to be. You'll do fine! xx Melinda
