I totally understand re the sedation I hate it... have had to go through it several times and I think it helps in the fact with local I like the fact that I know what is going on... but the really good thing with sedation it totally relaxed me.... x

thanks that looks helpful..will probably have to go the sedation route again.I hate medication I don't even take a paracetamol

I noticed your edit after I'd posted no worries x too complicated for me

bast

I understand you totally recently had camera down the throat and flatly refused sedation not because I am big and tough but I am scared/terrified of being sedated.... Nurses were amazed and I thought I was so brave did not bother telling them the truth lol x

taxi73

gosh you were brave...thought it was only me that hated being sedated

bast

Nah hate it not at all brave honest...... just had the spray... so I do understand where you are coming from... I have been for a lot of operations and the fear of general anaesthetic worries me more than I can say....

I have lorazepam to take the night before and the morning of chemo along with the antihistamines in the pre meds..if needs be will go down that route

If it helps then that's the route to take.

Well done on today. That's quite an achievement!

I'm definitely of the knock me out school.

They've given me lorazepam as well Taxi for pre-chemo and on the day.

Also took one today 40 minutes before the event. Mind you by the time they actually kicked off it was an hour and 40 minutes. At one point my BP spiked at 190/120 when it was over 148/100. Doesn't matter how much logic I apply it still goes whoosh.

Wonder what I could have achieved without lorazepam?

Well enjoy those six days I dont blame you at all for putting your head in the sand... x
