I had the first of four RTX infusions yesterday, which is my second course in just over a year.

Be warned it is a lengthy procedure. I was the first to arrive at the chemo unit at just before 9 am and did not leave until just after 4 pm? I made a big mistake I only took one film to watch on my laptop , when I really should have taken two (if you take a dvd player do remember the headphones). Interesting/exciting books, crossword puzzles, video games are essential if you do not want to wind up bored out of your mind.

Hope all goes well for you.
