They don't give it in the blood test vein, nor will they touch the big one in your wrist for catheters. Its usually in the hand or arm somewhere they can find a vein and a pretty good one which on my first time I felt rather nauseous about. Yes, I also took so long to get the first lot of chemo through as the first time they set everything on slow to see if you react or not, that the second lot hanging up in a bag had gone really cold in the air con so I told the nurse and she put a heat pack on the arm to warm the meds as they went in. Much better!
I took my laptop and a dongle for internet and one hand typed to my friends on face book during my time in the chair. I also took one of my favourite dvds and played that on and off with the uplifting music through my head phones. Although it was hours, the time seemed to go by quickly then. There are usually spare plugs behind the chair for a laptop. ;)
