Hello,
I believe it can be possible.
I have been researching and reading and the following points may prove for you to experience what you did:
*It takes 15 minutes to administer the drug, therefore you are exposed for that amount of time.-
*It is for cancer, meaning it is a strong medication.-
*Patients are given medication for nausea and vomiting after being given the IV.-
All of the above leads me to believe it is possible, specially due to the amount of time you are exposed to administering the medication.-
I hope you get well soon,
