Hi Marcia! ( Love your name, it was my mother's name too!)

My advice is to relax Tuesday and I hope things go well for you!

Your infusion center/neuro may have you premedicate with Benadryl or Claritin if you have problems during your first infusion. A lot of places have people do that automatically. Be sure to ask them what their procedure is if someone has any reactions.

Please let us know how it goes with you Tuesday! We'll be looking for you!!
