Hi Stephen, its no picnic but all doable and there's usually a med to help counteract any side effects she may get, tell her to be sure to take the anti nausea if she feels she doesn't need them as its easier to prevent nausea than stop once it starts. Drinking water during and after the infusion helps too and tell her to report any issue's she's having but hopefully any side effects will be minimal.
