Suzanne -

Glad the first one is done. Yes, the steroids can cause that real "restless" feeling but it didn't last too long for me. Maybe the first evening and tapered off the next day. Ativan did seem to help but made me very sleepy!! With kids, it is kind of hard to sleep away that first day!

Glad the port worked fine.

Keep us posted and hope the nausea stays away!

P.S. I only through up once and that was after my first treatment. After that, just some nausea but no vomitting for the remainder of treatments.
