Nothing wrong with getting a 2nd opinion. The docs will take care of you. Everyone is petrified before starting. If you need sleeping pills or anti-anxiety pills, ask for them. I did and wound up using very few, but it was nice to know I had them. With AC, I did pre-emptive sleeping. If you decide you're going to sleep the day of and day after infusion, you just don't feel bad.

Did neulasta once. Made me achey. The onc wasn't too concerned about low WBC, said they always go back up.

The hair thing was unpleasant for me. Always had long hair, so the wigs and current crew cut are just uncomfortable. BB
