Wink Re: Newbie to BC......

Welcome aboard !!
I ditto the advice about dressing warmly. Bring a sweater, wear nice warm socks, bring some snacks, water, and something to do while you are waiting.
Going to most chemo rooms is like going to Alaska.
The rooms are pretty cold for the machines and most of the medicine they put inside people comes out of a refrigerator.
Hospital departments that have alot of machines are also cold, so make sure you dress warmly for those places too. I would also advise you to wear clothes that do not have metal zippers, buttons and that sort of thing. If your clothes do not have metal you might be able to wear your own clothes under the gown for tests.
Good luck with all your treatments and tests and stay positive.
