I'm having EC and TPH Chemotherapy starting in early November. Did anyone drive to their sessions?

Many Thanks

  • No. I could have driven there, but family wouldn't let me drive back afterwards. I found I did feel a bit weary afterwards and actually was glad not to have to drive.

    Good luck

    I had 8 sessions of chemo. Hubby drove me to numbers 1, 5 & 8. The firstnone to make sure I was OK after the session. Number 5 because I was changing from fec to T. And the final one to take the final photo.

    Hi, 

    Yes that makes sense. Thank you that's really helpful. 

    How did you feel after your first session?

  • I’m not sure if I’ve just responded to you on another thread but I was advised not to drive after chemo abd I did feel a bit spacey and had a complication with a UTI once and couldn’t have driven x

  • Yes, I have drove to the majority of my sessions so far. 1st EC a friend took me and when switching to T but other than that I have been my designated driver Blush I would just check how you feel. My side effects didn’t start till day 3-4 on EC and day 2-3 on T 

    Good luck x

    Thank you Rumple, 

    I'm definitely not driving to the first session, but after that I'll just base my decision on how I feel, as we all react differently, and if I feel unwell I have a friend that lives local to the hospital that can drive me home. 

    Love and light
