Wishing you well on this journey, @4health4bonnie! I know all the pre-testing can be pretty exhausting with a hefty schedule. But you’ll have nothing but rest coming up for the next few weeks. ☺️

As for reactions to the chemo…you may have a few days where you’re not feeling your best. Fatigue and sometimes nausea are your companions for a little while. Your team will equip you with meds for the nausea. The fatigue just takes time, patience and frequent naps.

How long are you expected to be in the hospital?
