Re: WHO takes you to treatment?

I was always alone during the treatment ... except for my nurse and another patient in the chair beside me ... but I never drove myself. Someone would drop me off and come and get me. Until I was on herceptin alone my treatments were long ... 4 to 6 hours. I wouldn't want someone to have to sit there with me that long. I slept, ate, read ... mostly slept. Maybe you could get friends to drop in for short visits ... help pass the time.
