Hi Kandy,
Best of luck to you. I believe staying positive and going with the flow is important. You can't pick your nurse, but rest assured, they've probably been doing this procedure for quite some time. I planned to drink plenty of water the day before treatment and eat lightly so I would not be stressing myself first thing in the morning. On the morning of the treatment, I had my coffee black and drank plenty of water, as they take a urine sample. Again, not to stress myself. When you go into the treatment room, you will be asked to get on the exam table, where the nurse will insert the catheter. The first cath was awkward for me, but I got over it. For the first treatment, you will stay in the treatment room for the full duration of both injections so you can be observed. I had some slight spasms on the first gem infusion, but I sat up, and that seemed to relieve them. From then on, I always sat up with each infusion. After the Docx infusion, when sent home, I always took a nap, whether I was tired or not. The rest of the day was as usual. Do whatever is normal for you. I hope this helps. Chaz
