What has helped you through your journey?
I thought I would start a post to see what has helped people through their journey, so that maybe something might help others.
I will start with:
Ahh Bra Type tops - I found these great post op...
Forum Discussion
what got me through...
my husband and a sense of humour. He made me laugh every single day no matter what.
BCNA's My Journey Kit - so much in there that was invaluable.
Connecting with other bc patients
Pre-chemo 'treat days' - the day or evening before each dreaded chemo day, we would go out... for a meal, a movie, whatever. really helped.
Sparkling plain mineral water with lemon or lime and ice, for when I could not tolerate the 'taste' of tap water due to wacky taste buds
Ditto the hand sanitiser, bicarb mouth rinse, dark nail polish to reduce nail damage, and many of the other practical tips
