Just starting Chemo at the end of the month.
I am seeing my Oncologist for the first appointment on 20th Feb, and hope to start Chemo that week. I have a million questions to ask him, but hope to get a few things clear before I go in as I am ...

Hi Unicornkisses, I am on the same treatment & now only have 4 rounds of Taxol left. I have mine at a private hospital & there are 4 breast cancer patients at a time all on same treatment. I usually turn up around 9.00, only need a blood test every second week & chemo nurse has started taking it as my veins have hardened & can also only use one arm. I don't have weight or blood pressure done so generally takes about 2 hrs. We get morning tea & other snacks but you can take what you like. Usually the women chat so my husband takes himself off to the cafe now & works, I don't really need anyone there now. Sometimes a girlfriend will come. It is a bit scary at first until you know how it works & the time passes so quickly. You can leave straight away. Wear whatever is comfortable. I usually feel fine afterwards & we go for lunch. Hope all goes well!
