First day of chemo

My first day of chemo had a few hiccups, I had a reaction to the Emend anti nausea, so they discontinued that, then I had a reaction to the Taxol when they added it, so they discontinued it and administered the Carboplatin. They loaded me up on steroids and anti nausea meds. Today I went back and they did the anti-nausea drugs and the Taxol again, and i tolerated it. They think it was the carrier for the Emend, which is the same one as in the Taxol, and giving it after I had the reaction to the Emend, exacerbated it. All went smoothly. No pain, just waiting for all the side effects. The infusion nurses are awesome, and you almost don't want to leave!
