Hello lovely ladies I’m sat in the chair having my second chemo, and 2 hours ago I had a severe reaction I felt my face burning then I literally couldn’t breath, chest pains and the worse thing of all was the back pain, within seconds I was surrounded by nurses a doctor came and I’m not sure what they did but within 15/20 mins everything was under control the staff were amazing cannot thank them enough the doctor told me I was going into anaphylactic shock…. They restarted my chemo the same dose but at a much slower rate instead of 3 hrs it will be 6 cannot thank the staff enough it was very scary x
Hello Holly1978
How scary for you! Sounds like you are being well looked after and they reacted quickly.
I hope you find it easier with the slower rate and that the rest of the session goes to plan.

They are amazing- the chemo ward I was on was so calm and not at all what I expected but as soon as there was a problem they all leapt into action. I have had excellent care the whole way through and can't thank them enough. Hope you have a relaxing evening and a chance to rest after today
