Hi @Penny001 agree with all the wise words the others have mentioned. It is always worse in your minds eye than what it actually is. The actual having the infusion is not as bad as what you have imagined. You have to remember these chemo nurses have chosen to be in their field and I found nothing but compassion and understanding and as well as plenty of bad jokes to make you laugh. I had one issue where I had a reaction ( I was on a different regime to you ) but I can tell you the nurses where with me within seconds and did what they were trained to do as well as putting me at ease. Also when you go in for your chemo take a few little snacks and drink which you enjoy. They usually also have a choice of sandwiches and plenty of volunteers ready to make you a cuppa. It is doable and you got it. Just breathe and take each day at a time. Good luck with it all. xo
