Question by cjsu: Driving myself to Chemo treatments?
I will be beginning chemotherapy in a city about 30 miles away next week. I know I need a driver my first time, but will there ever be a time when I can drive myself? (I will be having Herceptin and Navelbine, which are quite mild for side effects like nausea and hair loss.)

I don’t know ANYTHING about the actual immediate effects chemo has on people, other than the nausea but surely that doesn’t begin within the 1st hour?!

Do I have a window of “wellness” where I can drive home safely after treatment or do I ALWAYS have to have a companion? The ride is about an hour – depending on traffic.

And unless you have had or worked with the drugs I mentioned, you may have out-of date info. Thanks anyway.
This is NOT because I don’t have anyone, but sometimes I want to be alone.

(It’s possible that I am like a wolf who needs to go into a cave alone and lick my wounds before coming out and rejoining my pack when I’m feeling better!)

Best answer:

Answer by The Cheminator
This all depends on the individual.
Symtoms can occur very fast.
