Hi
Did anyone use a special pillow during treatment? My 23yo nephew is about to start chemo & RT (brain tumour) and we are looking for anything that might ease his journey. I didn’t use one myself so looking for recommendations.
Thanks, Lisa
I had a foam wedge pillow which I have found very useful when recovering from surgery and during/post CRT. Depending on what way around it was configured it cave varying degrees of slope.
I also purchased and used extensively a small half round pillow to go under my knees so that when sleeping on my back my knee joints were given some respite. This is similar to the pillow found on MRI/CT machines for the same reason.
