Your month might look something like this while on DATROWAY:
Your DATROWAY days
On your treatment days, your infusion experience might be somewhat familiar to those you've had with your other treatments.
BEFORE INFUSION
You will be given medicines to help prevent nausea, vomiting, and infusion-related reactions.
DURING INFUSION
It takes 90 minutes to complete your first IV infusion. After that, it should take 30 minutes if you did not have any infusion-related reactions during your first treatment.
AFTER INFUSION
You'll be monitored for side effects for at least 1 hour after your first 2 infusions. If you do not have problems after your second infusion, you'll be monitored for at least 30 minutes after each following infusion. Let your care team know if you’re feeling any side effects.
Infusion days may feel intimidating, so don’t hesitate to rely on your care team to help you every step of the way
Reminders for your DATROWAY days and beyond:
There are measures you can take at home to help manage certain side effects such as mouth sores or eye problems. See the Managing Side Effects page for more details
Stay entertained: Bring a phone, tablet, or person to keep you company
Try holding some ice chips or ice water in your mouth throughout the infusion to help with certain mouth sores.
