I struggled with all the smells. The tape, the hoses, the mask, other people’s food…the air!! So I took scented lip gloss, lotion and hand sanitizer to cover the smells. Headphones are a must especially if your meds affect your vision to read or watch videos!! My clinic had charger stations for our phones so I was able to listen to music, books, vlogs for hours.❤ Consider fasting during chemo. It helped me with nausea, focus, chemo brain/memory, and energy. Who knew digestion takes SO much energy?? ❤love your work Dr. Amy!

I'm having my 6th and hopefully final round of chemo this week. Amy is right - you can do it! I've taken all these things Amy suggests in my chemo bag. I also take a warm, stretchy, long sleeve top. When beginning chemo I take off my jacket and to put on this cardigan (or you might have a hoodie etc). It helps keep me comfortable, and makes it easy to access my port (or your arm for the lure). I cool my hands to help prevent neuropathy (it works!) but I bring socks for my feet as I like to take off shoes during treatment. Comfort is king! Also consider bringing an absorbing book, the kind of novel you can't put down. All the best!

[@elizabethwillow4487]

I know this is going to sound stupid. But take Claritin non drowsy. Take it a few days before your treatment. It does work.
