Hi , does anyone have any tips or advice for sleeping with a chemo bottle on please . My husband has stage 4 bowel cancer spread to liver.
Hi Cat
I found putting a pillow upright along it long side as a mini headboard, which i then placed my chemo pump on, worked well. It enables gravity to help flow rate as keeps the pipework elevated, plus keeps pipework away from being compressed under body and free to move with you if you move around a bit.
