I receive an infusion 3-weekly (the usual situation in the UK I believe, where otherwise resources would be over-stretched) and it is supposed to take 90 minnutes - but it has always taken much LONGER: for some reason the drip won't run quickly enough into me, so this next Friday I have arranged to go to my nect following appointment at the hospital an hour later to avoid being late as previously!
