Hello Caronickie
I'm sorry to hear that you were hospitalised after your first round of chemo treatment. it sounds like that was a very difficult and scary time for you. It's understandable that you're feeling worried about the rest of your treatment.
Please do talk to your clinical nurse specialist or oncology team about your fears. It may be that they plan to adjust your treatment plan to try and mitigate the problems that you experienced last time. Hopefully they will be able to give you some reassurance.
If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice and support they can.
I do hope that things are easier for you moving forward.
Best wishes,
