I had my first treatment scheduled for Monday 5th, started fine with cold cap, steroid, flush and antihistamine but within a couple of minutes of chemo started had a burning sensation in a line across top of abdomen, nausea, horrific back and abdomen pain. The lovely nurses administered adrenaline for anaphylaxis, IV paracetamol to no effect, heat packs which helped and then morphine. When moved to cdu had buscopan injection which helped and it eased. At home now and have appointment with oncologist in a couple of days but I'm supposed to be weekly and I'm worried about what happens next. Has any else had the same please?
Thank you I have my appointment with the oncologist tomorrow I'm hoping they change the drug 
Hi there yes I have had several reactions from chemotherapy treatments over the first course of 9 and more recently the second of another 14 this week! ( which will make my oncologist very unhappy 
) what they will probably do is adjust your medication on first dose they give it to you full dose all assessment based on weight etc ( that's what my oncologist told me) and like you the first was the worst I couldn't tolerate it so don't despair they don't just carry.on without full assessment of your personal situation best of.luck!
