Hi Snufi!
We will be thinking of you.
I had the same regimen that you will on. After my first treatment I hardly felt a thing, much to my surprise!!
The above recommendations are good..to dress warm and drink a lot to flush out your body. I drank a whole lot during my treatment and was dragging that IV pole to the bathroom at least once per hour! I think I drank like 6 bottles of water!!
The first tx was long because they give it to you much slower to make sure you are tolerating it ok.
Take care and know you are making a good decision to just go for it...
Maryanne
