Re: Does your chemo nurse let you see the bag before she/he hangs it?
They always checked with me before each infusion with name, identifying information the drug and the dose.
It is a great idea and I would confirm before each infusion. My first oncologist thought it would be fine to switch taxanes before discussing it with me before my first infusion.
I had a cow. I had no way to read up on the treatment before receiving it and had no idea of the differences between the two. It was very upsetting as I had no way to check on it at the hospital.
I was very happy to switch doctors, but I'm pretty sure I got the difficult patient note on my records after that.
