I have my 1st Chemo on Xmas eve at my local hospital 2 minutes from my house and not in my nearest cancer hospital 45 miles away.
Super chuffed and am assuming as I been told I will be there just over 2 hours it is infusion and not tablet form.
What I would like to know is will I be ill after it and spoil Xmas day for my family? Will I want to eat Xmas dinner?
Any info on what to expect will be much appreciated.
