Hi everyone,
I’m due to start my first of 6 rounds of chemo this Friday. Are there any tips anyone has to help me prepare? Useful things to take? What I should do with my hair? (I’m trying the cold cap) anything that made you more comfortable?
Thank you! Xx
Bring a hot water bottle if you get cold easily and an additional blanket if you need to. The hospital do have blankets but I prefer using mine. Do remember to take your anti sickness medicine. Something to occupy you such as a book or listen/watch music or YouTube. Buy yourself a sleeping cap to wear in bed so that your hair is contained and not spread over your pillow, in case your hair starts falling All the best
Hi, I blogged throughout and this one has a lot of stuff I wish I'd known about chemo. Hope it helps, best wishes
