Answers:
Years ago chemotherapy was a horrible experience!. People almost always got sick from it!.

Now they can prevent the nausea and vomiting for most people with prescription medications!. They can administer a shot on the day after chemo to boost the body's production of white blood cells to fight infection!.

Getting the chemo itself isn't bad at all!. You go to the infusion center at the hospital and they hook you up to the IV!. They drip the chemo in over a period of a couple of hours!. It's pretty much painless!. You can read books or magazines, watch a tv, listen to music, whatever you want!. I would take my MP3 player and listen to tunes, or play with my Nintendo DS!.
