Chemo bag recommendations

Quickfire1
Offline

Hi lovely people,

 

We've just had news that mum will start palliative chemo on 8th April, all going well with bloods. 

What can I pack for her to take to the hospital inpatient unit that will improve her experience, provide comfort or just make it all a bit less rubbish?

Your recommendation would be gratefully received.

Thank you 

R

    Hello lovely, 

    I've not had any chemo but I have nursed chemo patients many times. 
    My suggestions would be -

     

    hand cream

    lip balm

    nice wash things

    Ear plugs

    eye mask 

    VIPoo spray (do you know what this is ? Get a cheapy  one from home bargains or B&M !)

    moist toilet wipes

    cordial concentrate to add to water 

    nail file ? 

    magazine/puzzle book and pen 

    Small framed photo of you/family to look at and smile x 


     

    That's about all I can think of atm  

    Hopes your mums doing ok  x
