What to Expect at Your First Infusion Appointment

[@Maineliven]

As a stem cell transplant patient for AML I was treated 5 years ago at Dana I can't recommend this hospital enough! I am forever grateful for them!!

[@gordanazakula4927]

Iam glad that you are alive and well! I would never have chemo,see my later comment. Fuck those doctors; they just want your money! Most nurses are out on a power trip!

[@jesusmanuelgrateroltoro5445]

This is just superb, I have been researching "treatment for lupus flare" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Denmelia Jansabella Builder - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is a good exclusive product for discovering how to treat lupus without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my neighbour got amazing success with it.

[@laxnative4622]

I start my chemo in 4 days. I get my port installed the day before. As for being scared, this reminds me of getting my wisdom teeth out 40 years ago. Get informed, and know that for the vast majority of people everything goes exactly as planned. So some nervousness, but also eager to have it completed.

[@barbarachilson5428]

Thank you so very much, my husband is going to receive an infusion treatment and we had absolutely no knowledge of what will take place. Your film is very informative and we learned much from it, and it has helped us understand what is going to take place. Thank you again.

[@greensage395]

My infusion center is very intimate with all the decorations and fun crafts that all the patients have donated. During Holidays it is alive with all the Themes! Very sweet, especially all the goodies!

[@carasmussen27]

I have my blood drawn two days before the infusion. Other than an infection after the surgery my chemo has gone well. I have a Bard Power port.. I like how you do everything a little different than mine but you are probably a far superior place. :-) I have Kaiser Permanente and I have had a good experience so far. But if I need a second opinion it will you I contact. Thank goodness for those pre meds. I have had little nausea. This is a great video even if the place you go to isn't Dana Farber

[@rebeccawright5987]

Yup, my sister was treated at the University of Michigan. Same process.

[@carasmussen27]

@@rebeccawright5987 sorry i did not see your reply. How is your sister doing? I am doing well. Last chemo was in October

[@aprilroseu]

Hardest part of treatment was where I live Covid protocol meant I had to go to all appointments alone I was greatful for the incredible nurses at Kootenay Lake Hospital

[@cybermuff]

I see why so many people pass on treatment and plan for hospice. I'm sure these centers excellent.

[@scambodia147]

So how did it go for you,hopefully not as bad as you imagined,I am currently on 5/6 rounds and apart from fatigue and headaches no real major issues,good luck with your treatment trying times for all sufferers and families.

[@samantahir4396]

As a nurse, what would they do if we start to develop a reaction? Would they contact a doctor or are standby meds already ordered to give incase of a reaction?

[@IAMdevilwomen]

I'm about to start chemo for uteran cancer, cervical cancer, at almost 50 years old and NO family support, I'm scared to death

[@chixbleau7321]

How are you doing??

[@IAMdevilwomen]

@@chixbleau7321 chemo is going ok, it's the intense pain that hits me about 48 hours after treatment that makes me not wanna go back, but I have 1 more treatment before CT scan and Drs exam to find out if tumor shrinks or not, if it has, surgery to remove it then 3 more rounds of chemotherapy

What IS an infusion treatment??

[@allyouneedtoknowanonymous7558]

is iron infusion same as blood transfusion?

[@traceyszostek8637]

allyouneedtoknow anonymous no iron transfusions are man made.

[@allyouneedtoknowanonymous7558]

@@traceyszostek8637 this mite sound a silly ? so please look past my stupidity.....where does the the iron come from? is it a blood transfusion with red cells removed?

[@Howiesgirl]

@@allyouneedtoknowanonymous7558 Iron infusions are done with a drug called ferric carboxymaltose. It's an iron supplement simlar to the kind you can take in pill form. The infusion(I.V.) method gets absorbed into the body easier than pill form, so for those with severe iron anemia, it's often the best way to treat it. Not all anemic people are low on iron though, & like me, need actual blood transfusions from time to time. In that case, the frequent transfusions can cause a build-up of excess iron, which is very harmful the heart. In that case, the person must take a medication to take the extra iron out. The iron will bind to this medication & you just poop💩it out. I have a type of blood cancer called Myelodysplastic Syndrome, & part of how the disease affects me is having severe anemia. I hope my reply was helpful to you.
