I didn't do revenge hair drops either!
Chemo was a bit production line-ish in the small private hospital I was in. They were just terribly busy, and after my first one it was a little set and forget. I didn't overly mind but it would have been nice if the nurses had had time to talk a little, to help take your mind off what was happening. When I finished I don't think anyone there knew anything much about me at all, apart from the NUM who was there on the first infusion. And she wasn't there on the last. It was oddly impersonal for something so intense.
I think the article must be read with the American medical system very much in mind.
