You shouldn’t be alone during your infusions! That’s what mean that the emotional needs of anyone with a chronic disease process is often ignored. I use to work at a dialysis center and they had a lady that would visit patients and sit next to them. I thought what a great idea! I later found out the woman was there on her own and not a paid employee. Thank you for sharing. Rachel. I was touched by your story. We are not alone! Stay strong!

My 28 year old son has Chrons disease. Does not want me to hang out for infusions. Meets a lot of the same patients because they are on the same schedule. Better thing.
I went for radiation for breast cancer. Honestly, something difficult I prefer to do by myself. Otherwise I feel the need to chat with the other person so they are not uncomfortable. Met so many nice people in the waiting area. With radiation it's a daily thing and I met a people that I think about to this day
