Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Darlene I'm not on Remicade but I get my Cytoxan by iv. Unfortunately I can't knit or crochet during the 45 minute treatment because of the needle. I do that stuff in the waiting room because I have about an hour first while I wait for my blood test results. They do the tests before every treatment checking my white blood cell count. If I remember it right. I also get to pee in a cup every time too. LOL Where I get mine done they have a tv in each treatment room & magazines but most of the time I nap. grannylunatic@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Darlene OOPS hit the wrong key. I haven't been on Remicade yet but hang in there. The Cytoxan was scary at first but not too bad after all. You're in my prayers too. grannylunatic@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
