Hi dvar

Know where you are coming from as my hubby said he felt like he was bringing the whole pharmacy home with him when he left the chemo ward.  He did have a good deal of side effects and several changes of medications during his infusions but did not read about the side effects on the packets (unless he experienced something!!) preferring the wait and see approach. Hope you will not experience too many problems though always wise to tell your chemo team as and when anything arises so they can try and help.The pre-chemo blood tests (we were told) keep an eye on vital organs reactions so that situations can be monitored.  Wishing you all the best with your treatment.Jules54

One thing the Steroids for anti sickness do is knock my blood sugar for six I have to double my insulin ( type two diabetic) for a couple of days until I can cut out the Dexamethosone!
