@korinja What does the IV Benadryl do?
With the cap on, I assume you can't listen to podcasts, etc.
I'll ask if a heated blanket is provided.
Thank you for shedding light on what to experience.
Sitting for so long seems like a challenge - like flying to Europe, but not nearly as fun!

@sabwal The IV Benadryl gives me a “peaceful easy feeling” 😉 and then helps me to sleep through most of the time that I’m under the cap.

@sabwal my first chemo treatments were 7 hours. I'd take my phone and charger and activity books to work in. I packed my own lunch and snacks. They have a snack cart at the infusion center the bring around. A lot of people slept through most of treatments but I couldn't do that even with all the pre meds they added. My keytruda only takes about an hour and a few minutes so I just take my phone. Lol
The time goes by faster than you'd think or it did for me because there was always something going on. I took a blanket on the first trip and no other. I didn't need it.
