Prepare a Chemo Bag
Chemotherapy treatments can be daunting and exhausting, both mentally and physically. You should prepare a chemo bag, which can provide full comfort and entertainment during this long period. Firstly, make sure to include essential stuff, such as medical records, ID card, and insurance card. You should also bring items that help you stay comfortable and kill the time. These may include magazines, a blanket, a pillow, warm clothes, hand sanitizers, water, snacks, phone chargers, tablets, DVD players, headphones, video games, and other stuff. The list is endless, depending on your personal interests and hobbies. [3]
Prepare Nutritious Meals
Chemotherapy may cause several side effects, such as nausea, mouth sores, fatigue, taste changes, and dry mouth. These would make eating unappealing or challenging. Therefore, you would find yourself too tired to go shopping or cook. That’s why it is better to prepare nutritious drinks and meals in advance. Foods with mild flavor and bland tastes are good for your stomach. These may include plain yogurt, poached egg, fresh fruit, soup, milk, cereal, nuts, or avocadoes. [4]
