Diving after ec chemo

I didn't drive on Chemo days and not that much after but coped fine driving locally x

I would drive to and from chemo, fine the next day too but then didn’t drive for a couple of days then was fine  Just see how you feel 

I was fine to drive to and from chemo but fortunately I'm only 15 minutes from the hospital. I would recommend getting a lift for your first session to see how you are - I felt much better on subsequent sessions- maybe it was the shock and emotional of the first one and was able to drive on the following days too.

I drove to abd from chemo and the days I had steroids but didn’t feel safe on days 3-7 after my first round…brain fog and very heavy and slow reactions. X

Personally I always felt a little spaced out after  EC chemo.

I was also told by one of the chemo nurses before I started that my insurance may be invalid if I drove immediately after chemo. It may be worth checking with your insurance provider just to be on the safe side 

Take care

I too didn’t feel safe to drive after chemo, very spaced out. It took me a variety of lengths of time to drive after each session and depending on necessity and I didn’t drive far. Also I’d check you insurance, I recall with mine it was dependent on consultant advice and I was told to avoid driving if I could. As it was I didn’t feel quite safe to drive x

I felt pretty spacey after EC chemo, I couldn't have driven. If its your first one, then I wouldn't risk it. 

I felt a bit better immediately after docetaxel, but I was so tired out by then that I wouldn't have wanted to drive. 

I barely drove at all during chemo. I remember driving to get my zoladex injection one week after chemo one time and I really shouldn't have driven. Luckily it wasn't far, but it was a reminder how much of your faculties you need to control a vehicle safely.

I was very lucky that my husband was able to drive me everywhere. He wasn't allowed to come with my to chemo so he dropped me off and collected me. 

Hi

did you start Zoladex alongside chemo then? I’m still having cycles on chemo so thinking I should chase up the referral but wasn’t sure if it was to be done after? 

thanks 

I’ve just had 3 cycles of EC, definitely been too spaced out and feeble to drive for about 10 days after. Take care- you don’t want to have a bump and make things even more complicated!
