Ativan -- my BFF
I believe it is OK to take anxiety pills during chemo. I was given Ativan and it did miracles for me. Talk to your doctor and see what he/she recomends. Good luck!

Don't forget that if you take
Don't forget that if you take valium, xanax or similar drugs,it is recommended that you don't drive. Good luck on Tuesday. Hope you have someone to go with you.

Pat once I started chemo again...
It got better. The second time, I had radiation first, and then it was the holidays, so I waited until Jan. 12, to do the chemo. That was 4 months after the dx. It gave me too much time to come up with every negative see imaginable. Once started, I didn't have any of the ones I had with Cytoxin.
It was better than I thought it would be.
Thoughts and prayers are with you on Tuesday.
Hugs, Carol
