PS - to pack for the chemo lounge: We usually take a comfy cardigan in case it's cold, some of Mum's fave teabags and a healthy lunch (her hospital provides sandwiches but we both ended up with a stomach ache from the stodgy food so bring our own salad or quiche now), and a good book.

Try to stock u beforehand on meds for common side-effects (constipation & diarrhea, the biotene mouthwash, etc etc) so its on hand straight away if she needs it.
