I remember LOVING packing my hospital bags for each of my daughter’s births. I am kind of obsessed with being completely cozy, so I packed each of my bags with cozy jammies, a robe, cozy socks, my quilt, etc. So here I was packing for my chemotherapy treatment. I’ve been looking up different lists from cancer survivors on what they thought was most beneficial, and I’m sure as I experience my own chemo infusions I’ll have my own go to list I can help provide anyone else going through this terrible chapter in the future.
So far I have:
Peppermint lozenges (as natural as possible of course)
Mints
My quilt my momma made me (I had this at the hospital for both my girl’s births)
A cozy sweatshirt
My chemo shawl my sweet friends had made for me
Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Hand & Foot Lotion
Cozy socks
My laptop
Book #1 : Oola Find Balance in an Unbalanced World For Women
A ginger beer
My yeti cup with a straw and ice cold water and sonic ice
KIND bars
YoungLiving Grapefruit Lip Balm with SPF
Southern Living Magazine
People magazine (sometimes you just wanna read the trash lol)
The Magnolia Journal
Edible Austin magazine
This is what I have so far. We ended up having two bags and afterwards my hubby felt we could bring one bag. I like being over-prepared rather than underprepared. J I was mostly on my computer writing my blogs, and then I read. I’m sure each time I’ll want to switch it up. I have so many friends who have sent me awesome books that I can’t wait to read, so I’ll definitely read each time I’m there. (Actual port placement and first chemo treatment experience coming next.)
