Looking for advice on:
1. What to take with me to chemotherapy tomorrow (will be there approx 5 hours as will be trying scalp cooling). Also what do people wear when using ice gloves/boots/cold cap?
2. Any advice on TC chemo and how you tolerated it (I’m doing 4 cycles).
3. Any tips on managing chemotherapy with 3 children aged between 3-7yrs and a husband who works long hours but very supportive.
