Within minutes of getting the first chemo drug I had an allergic reaction. I got super hot, dizzy and must have looked crazy because they took a photo of me. They said it was to send to the doctor but it might have just been funny.
Three nurses worked quickly switching me back to saline, took my blood pressure etc. After I was back to normal and they talked to my doctor they started it again but mixed with I assume saline. Now I’m fine.
My ice socks and ice packs for my hands are getting mixed reactions.
One nurse thought it was funny, one super interesting and one just rolled her eyes.
I love the idea of the ice socks. I hope it helps. I heard that some people use an ice cap too for the head. But that sounds absolutely miserable. You look great, and I’m confident that you will handle the wasabi like a champ. xo
Thanks Robin. I ordered ice gloves for the next round. I heard of the ice cap but it sounded like it would give me brain freeze.
