what to take to chemo treatments?
Ok so here is my question, I've had my mastectomy (healing well, thankyou), and now I'm about to start Chemo shortly, what do I take with me on the day? I've seen suggestions for 'chemo packs' and so...
Hi @Mazbeth and @Abbydog, I'm not allowed to take anyone with me due to covid. Luckily I could take my husband to the first oncologist visit but had to do all of the surgery and hospital stay on my own. No complaints though as the hospital staff were just lovely.
I'm not doing the cold cap as I get migraines and one of the triggers is getting really cold. Last thing I want is nausea and a 3 day migraine at the same time!
I've heard fruit tingles mentioned a few times so I'll get some for sure, as well as the ginger and lemon tea (for after). I have a kindle with loads of books downloaded to take with me. I thought I'd need it for my surgery stay but ended up leaving the hospital pretty quickly due to a covid case at a nearby hospital. They cleared as many of us out as they could in case they needed the beds for people being shuffled around.
Thanks for all the good ideas, some things I have already and some I still need to get.
