Hi
I'm booked in for my 1st chemo tomorrow (20th December) . I'm wondering what to take with me and would love to hear what anyone might have found useful.
Please hit me up with your suggestions.
Thank you
Hi Amanda
I’m not sure what chemo you will be on or how long it will take, but mine took 6-7 hours, and I took my iPad, long charging cable, something to read, snacks and warm socks for while I was in the chair and had my boots off.
I’d recommend loose clothing for easy access going to the loo! I had lots of loo trips throughout the session, and needed to wheel my drip stand with me, so I found leggings easiest to get down in the loo with one hand!
My hospital provided regular tea and coffee, and of course water, and lunch was provided. But snacks were still handy to have!
