Hello to everyone. was having a problem getting into my e-mail account they change things around so I figured that one out! going for my 3 chemo treatment this Wed. kind of worried sense the last one when I felt like I was having a heart attack from the keytruda so hoping that it doesn't happen this time. couple of people said the drip maybe going to fast do you think it would be in bad taste to let the doctor know this? any info would help. here it is April and it is snowing here just planted some ferns and flowers covered them up last night hope they make it through the next couple days.
stay healthy

@loula- I think that all of us understand your apprehensions about your treatment tomorrow. When I went through chemo if I had a concern I called and spoke to my infusion nurse. That always put me at ease. Another thing, if you are experiencing something that is different than you think it should be DURING any infusion, elevated heartbeat, nausea, swelling, brain fog, etc call attention to it immediately. That is what the infusion nurses are there for!
Do you have a number to call? If you call today then your mind will be more at ease. Right?

@loula I understand that you’re worried about chemo on Wednesday. It’s natural to worry about things like that, but if you remember, you were able to talk yourself into a positive attitude several other times when you were worried/anxious. You can do it this time, too! And, yes, you should tell the doctor what happened last time. They need to know how your body reacted to the chemo and infusion. And just think about the chemo getting all those cancer cells! And we’re all thinking about you! You’re one strong woman!
Will you post on Wednesday and let us know how you did?
