At the hospital where I had my chemo done, they had tv's, books and magazines available. The nurses were so nice and covered you up with warm blankets. There was even a little kitchen full of beverages, and all kinds of food. Over lunch time, they would bring a cart around with all kinds of sandwiches. This was all free, they even gave lunch to the people who went with me.
For me, I was ok with my first chemo until about 10 days after. Then I was nauseous. Im hoping you go thru it with ease, and will say a prayer for you. Please post any questions, concerns you may have about your treatment.
