What to take to chemo? Share your tips!

Hello everyone,

We need your help!

Many people post here in preparation for their first chemo appointment, asking what to take, and what to expect. 

Everybody’s experience of chemo is different, but we think there are some things that can be helpful to know in advance.

If you have any tips or suggestions, why not post them here so they can be collected together in one handy place :grin:

  • Thank you [@davek]‍!

    It was your helpful reply to [@Madimoo]‍that encouraged me to start this thread. I think the practical tips you gave - such as taking a Kindle, and arranging for someone to drive you home - really do help. It reminded me that I was pretty confident I'd be able to get the train home after I had surgery; how wrong I was! Fortunately, I had a family member with me who sensibly called a cab :grin: 

    If anyone else remembers any tips that helped them through their chemo sessions, do feel free to share them here.
