Hi everyone.

Was there one thing or product that helped you through chemo?

    Are you asking what you should buy? There is a at least one long thread on that, which might help you. If that's not what you mean, I'll start by saying the most important "thing" for me was my husband. Second was probably my MO and his nurse, and the truly amazing infusion nurses. Third was my good health insurance. I could go on, but now I'm pretty sure I'm not answering the question you tried to ask!

    Funny or interesting TV shows and determination. No actual products were particularly helpful or necessary. Maybe just a very comfy sweater, I found chemo often made me chilly.

    Electric blanket to counter the chills from the cold cap, my husband's laptop to watch movies, trip advisor to plan vacations. And good ole American Express to book the rooms and flights ;)

    Yup molliefish - quiet time. I was VERY selfish - went by myself and read & dozed my way through 8 hour infusion sessions. Oh and the breakfast taco I picked up at 6:30am on the way.

    Monlee - Let us know if you mean things you "need" and one of us will forward the link.
