Hi @Katherine, the only problem I had with first AC was finding a vein but once this was resolved it was fine. The drugs feel cold going through your veins so they put a heat pack on your arm & I was also given a sedative which after the second time I didn't need again. You will be fine, the thought of it is more scary than it actually is. I also got my wig from Suzanne's. They are horrendously expensive but I had so many compliments, people asking me where I get my hair done & people who knew me but didn't know I had cancer saying they liked my new haircut! Mine was made with real hair. Best of luck.
