I am glad everything worked out well for you. I also had to have my first does stopped for a scratchy throat but after I told them it was from the Tylenol tablet scratched my throat on the way down. You see I have a problem swallowing a pill that big now they give me the liquid Tylenol medicine. YUCK And yes the day is very long.

I'm so happy for you! And I didn't know that Zantec was even an option so thanks for that tip!

your dr has to order it in advance ( zantec) but if you have problems with benedryl I would tell dr to order it,and I let them know when I first get there at infusion I am to have Zantec good luck
