Advice..... well, check the vintage before you buy, and make sure it's from a reputable importer! 
Take with you something to do during chemo -- a book to read, music with headphones, anything to pass the time.
I would recommend avoiding crowds from now on. The pandemic may not be what it was back in 2020, but chemo makes us more vulnerable to every type of infection, so you would want to minimise the chances of catching even the common cold. I'd recommend a face mask on every time you go out, not only inside the hospital.
Take into account the possibility of delays. Meaning, you may have to wait a while before you are called in, and a chemo session may take longer than expected if they have to run it slower, for instance, so best not to plan anything for right after but leave a gap.
wishing you a good experience on Wednesday.
