well you are in for an E ticket ride! I had a port a cath so I always had a tube for daily IV's. It was Chemo once a week and fluid et al on the other 4 days. Generaly took 90 min. I was lucky, minimal sides and angels for nurses. Radiation was different. easy treatment but very hard sides, they cooked me raw! I had 40 days over a wide area, quite chalanging! But once again, angels for tech and helped me so much!
It is a tough treatment, you will make it and kick ass on cancer!
