Advice/Tips: Treatment is about 5 hours; bring a book or books on tape. Bring H2O & snacks, too. The nurse will usually pre-medicate w/ benedryl & tylenol to help with the mild side effects, I was okay. Side effects usually include; mild headache & itching.
Burden: Transportation to infusion clinic. Length of infusion- 5+ hours.
