I'm having my 6th and hopefully final round of chemo this week. Amy is right - you can do it! I've taken all these things Amy suggests in my chemo bag. I also take a warm, stretchy, long sleeve top. When beginning chemo I take off my jacket and to put on this cardigan (or you might have a hoodie etc). It helps keep me comfortable, and makes it easy to access my port (or your arm for the lure). I cool my hands to help prevent neuropathy (it works!) but I bring socks for my feet as I like to take off shoes during treatment. Comfort is king! Also consider bringing an absorbing book, the kind of novel you can't put down. All the best!

So glad this came out right in time for you!
How long do I use the ice packs for during treatment?
You are great thank you
What if the ice packs make us feel really cold and cause us to get sick after?
Everyone I know who started chemo and radiation spent last year of life fighting day to day life .
Except one friend 2x.
Where can you get the aquafor lotion from what store can I get it from.
You can find the amazon link in the description
You can also go to a cvs, walgreens, duane reade, etc
What about bone pain it's the worst, please talk about this
I know this is going to sound stupid. But take Claritin non drowsy. Take it a few days before your treatment. It does work.
What is your last name and what medical degrees/training do you have, please?
