Hello all , hope everyone is doing ok. I'm just looking for some advice on a side affects I experienced yesterday while have a 5fu push through my port . Halfway through the push I came over all strange like fuzzy head and it felt like my insides were shrinking not a crushing feeling and I had no chest pains. I mentioned it to the nurse who was doing the push and she said " really" I said yes I really don't feel good so I was taken to the side room and my blood pressure was on the high side then a doctor came in and I explained as best I could at this stage my thoughts were getting muddled and I felt awful. They then gave me antihistamine and a steroid and I felt better after about 30min . This was my third folfox infusion and I was fine with the other two. Has anybody else experienced anything similar that you could share, I'm very worried it will happen again next week. Thank you

I had different types of chemotherapy to you and it's always worrying when something happens when you're having treatment. I know the nurses in the oncology unit are always on the ball if you start to feel unwell while having treatment so, if it does happen again, I'm sure you'll be well looked after.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway.
