Must-haves for chemo
Hi all. I am about to start chemotherapy next week, fortnightly for 8 weeks and then weekly for 12. There is SOOOOOOOOOO much out there about what it will be like, what the side effects will be, what to expect... but then it is also so much to navigate when one's head is already full! I was wondering if anyone had some very basic recommendations of things that are 'must-haves' or was a 'go-to' for them when they went through therapy. I know that everyone responds differently and everyone would have different experiences, but I guess I want to at least start with a shortlist of items that I can have on hand in preparation for the first few rounds. Haha am I even making any sense :wink: Thanks in advance :smile:
