Hello,

I will start in 4 days. I've got my cold gloves/bootees (although I fear they may prove too uncomfortable!), my crystallized ginger and my sugar-free mints, plus I'm hoping a flask of tea will be OK. Please, if someone has a practical tip, it will be gratefully received...

  • Hi.

    THIS

    From Irishgirl may help

    I would add a warm jacket,  a tablet/phone plus long charger lead, lip balm, unscented hand/body/face lotion

    Good luck and hugs

  • Thanks, Dani!

    You are absolutely right - it helped a lot.

    Now I'll be reading both your blogs...

  • Hi  

    I didn’t have chemo but I’ve helped many through it. I doubt my blog will be much help except to illustrate life goes on and it’s great.
