Indy, I laughed at your description of this woman, but it's really not funny. I agree, tape a note to the stall.
Possegal, please forgive my ignorance, as one who has 2 lowly master's degrees in decidedly non-scientific subjects. I know the drug is not used to treat cancer, but used to help with the effects of treatment. I am only concerned with side effects... that would affect me, like maybe having a horrible skin rash on my face! I had nothing after the first treatment and all of my blood work was fine, but I can get myself pretty worked up about medications, etc., as I have had serious allergic reactions to some things, like IV contrast dye. I am not anti-medication, but so far, I haven't been able to take the first line of treatment osteoporosis drugs, due to really bad gastric side effects, and I had the weird reaction during the infusion of Reclast. Like I said earlier, I don't think that was really a reaction, just an anxiety attack.
Frankly, I read only minimal information the endocrinologist gave me this time, because after talking to her, I almost could feel the side effects starting . Seriously, if I read it, I get it. I'm a whole lot better than I used to be, but I restrict myself from the Internet, in all things medical. So again, I fully admit I am no science person, but I am pretty aware of all things medical, especially since I work in a health care related field.
