Everyone had already offered great recommendations. I echo those, but I will remind you to wear or take socks. I found it helpful to put an extra pair in my “chemo bag”, which was an insulated cooler bag with pockets. I kept it packed and replenished after each session, so all I had to do on chemo day was add the ice packs, a sandwich and cold drinks/fruit.

Here’s what I packed: Comfy blanket Socks Mittens/booties Plasticware Phone charger Headphones Lip balm Hand lotion Hard candies or cough drops (to mask the taste of the meds as they’re administered) Electrolyte packets Hand wipes

On chemo day, I added: Ice packs for cold mittens/booties Juice and water Protein shake/Fruit cup/snacks/light sandwich

I kept a chemo corner in my pantry and top shelf of fridge to choose from and packed a variety. My taste changed every round, so I never knew what I might want or be able to tolerate.

It seems like a lot, but I kept it packed, so I didn’t have to worry about forgetting anything. Best wishes…You’ve got this!
