TC chemo experiences, major anxiety
I start TC chemo in a week and a half. I'm getting myself into a panic because of the unknowns.
I know everyone is different. But can anyone share your experiences?
Did your doctor provide neuropathy gloves?
Did they prescribe lidocaine or did you buy regular strength at the store (I see 4% at the store).
What is the Neulasta shot like?
And what was your timeline like... How did you feel the day after chemo? (I'll drive myself 1.5 hr to chemo, stay the night with family. I'll drive myself home the next day after the Neulasta shot. That's the plan at least).
When did any nausea or pain kick in? How much time did you need off work after each chemo appointment? And when did you start losing hair? (Not cold capping).
What else should I know?
