I can tell you about my chemo treatment process, I was at Mayo Rochester so your location may be different.

1.Prior to chemo appts., I had anti-nauseous drugs' (pills) that I took at home.
2. I had blood test prior to each chemo. It was to check few items to make sure safe to give chemo. This was more important toward end of chemo treatments. My test were always OK, but if your hemoglobin or other key test are outside of normal, they may postpone chemo for a week. Toward the end I was very tired so the oncologist postponed one treatment.
3. Also, they always weight me. I think the pharmacist needs info while preparing medication I learned to wear shoes that were easy to take off and on.
4. You might want to bring something to read. Sometimes I bought crochet to work on during treatment. If like music, maybe set headphones to listen to music.
5. Will start an IV
6. May give you anti-nauseous pills to take.
7. Next will start drugs
8. Nurse will monitor to make sure you do not have a reaction.
9. I was doing chemo pre-COVID, and they usually provided something to drink and snacks.
10. My nurses were wonderful always there to answer questions and make sure I was comfortable.
11. At end, IV removed and ready to go home.

I am single and always went alone, never needed someone to drive me there or home. I had some side effects, but everyone is different. If you do have side effects, speak up.

I did lose hair around week 3. I had shaved head right away. For me, losing hair was not a big deal. I did buy wig and only wore once. I order some head covers from amazon.

Good luck.
