Info
Don't you just hate computer "burps"....guess it is the best way for the "gas to pass". As for info about all that other stuff, you will find that we all do it different....some easier...some worse.... but remember that it is doable !! You are so right this is the place to be so pick these brains often. Wish I had found it sooner. The onc RN who handles the infusions is also a great source.
Port....wonderful thing even if you have big, huge veins. Think of the port as saving them for when you really need them.
Wig...if you want one get it now so you can match your current hair style and have it ready. Many of us cut our hair very short just to make that entire process easier.
Take the premeds as directed and most of us were never as sick as we thought we would be. Thanks be to chemicals!!
AC......cumalative effects...means that each dose ( doing the dense dose?) takes a bit more out of you. So the 4th will be the worse...just remember...doable!! If you find after the first time or two that you do not need as much pre med (dang those steroids ) work with your onc to adjust. Personally found the taxol/ taxatere easier than AC.
Am sure that some one has already told you to keep copies of everything !!! Have to repeat....keep copies !!
You know ....just previewed this and made it shorter.....I know hard to believe. It all may be info over load right now. Just be sure that you have found the fountain of info here. As you both go into the journey ....all the experts are right here. The Been there Done that Team Extreme will go into over time....just ask !
Hugs, Bonnie
