Hello,
Would be grateful for the benefit of others experience.
So I had first chemo two days ago... and had conflicting info re the injections.My care is shared between 2 hospitals - so the hospital I was booked into for the pre-treatment session and where I have been for all my appointments was the place where I was originally booked into for the first chemo session. At the pre-treatment session I asked about when would I be shown the injections - having docotaxel for initial cycles , followed by EC - and was told by the staff nurse that I would not need them for the first drug.. its for the second drug that I have them. The day before the chemo session was called to say that the session location moved to the other hospital due to capacity.
To cut a long story short I was told at this other location that I do in fact need them for all of the chemo drugs...so am going back there today to be shown and collect etc.
My questions are -
Best wishes
