26. Chemotherapy, Session 4 of 4
August 1, 2022
Update. On the way to chemotherapy session 4 of 4 this morning. Besides the essential chemotherapy medications and cold packs for hands and feet to prevent neuropathy, here are other things I need today (with Doreen, who is also essential and says, “Let’s do this!”).
1. Reading glasses, to help me see the forms I have to fill out.
2. Noise-cancelling earphones for listening to podcasts on the phone.
3. Surgical scrub cap with buttons. The cap keeps my head covered and warm, while buttons act as ear savers for the mask which I have to wear for the duration of chemotherapy. The ears are already occupied by the earphones!
4. Snack – today some macadamia nuts – since chemotherapy typically runs through lunch and ends between 1 and 2 PM, then I have a late lunch at home.
5. Water, to go with the snack.
Edited to add: thanks everyone for your support and prayers. They do make a difference and I appreciate them a lot!
