Hiya Jennifer!
Ask what tests will be done for monitoring. Most of us have blood work and liver function tests done every three months or every six months.
Ask when you will have the next MRI. They usually want one after the first six months.
Ask what the procedure is if you have a problem outside of the infusion center and if he will respond asap or leave you hanging.
It's an easy procedure for me, go in, get the infusion, get monitored for an hour, and then out the door, blood work every 6 months, MRI after the first six months and then one every 12-18 months unless there's a problem, which there hasn't been in my case.
Please let us know how it goes and good luck!
