I agree with Rhonda - an easy access shirt and lots of water. I also bring a blanket (unless one is provided) and some snack food. They premeds can make you hungry - so I bring raisins, granola bar and lunch if needed. A good book and maybe some music to listen too. But the best thing to bring is a good friend, if you can! I hated chemo day but cherished my girl friend time. I had 3 friends that rotated taking me to 18 chemo treatments and they loved taking time from their busy schedules to be with me - we talked, laughed and caught up on our busy lives. It makes the time much easier.
Good luck!
