My first one went OK as well. My 2nd one 3 weeks later and after 15 rad Txs did me in. Did you say you were getting them weekly or every 3 weeks?
I dreaded chemo days because I drove 45 miles to get there, then I had blood taken and then was in the chemo room for 4 or 5 hours and then had to get my rad Tx which was also on a Monday therefore rad measurement day and then drive 45 miles back home. I would leave my house at 6am and wouldn't get home until 5pm. Thanks for the memory. LOL
I hope all yours goes without incident.
