I completed my 6 gem/doc treatments last week. Each time the gem was infused i was sent to the waiting room for an hour. No lying down having to twist about. On two occasions the nurse left the catheter in so there was no need to recath for the docx . Once the gem was drained and the dock administered I would go home. I experienced no pain, no spasms, no blood in my urine, no unusual fatigue or any other symptoms. The day before treatment I drank plenty of water and ate scrambled eggs. On the morning of I drank coffee and plenty of water. I did not eat a meal until after my treatment. I did not change my routine on days before or after treatments. I even played golf the day before treatment #6. Im 77 years old and I know everything's gonna be alright and I wish ya'll the same. God bless.
