Post #41- Getting Ready For Chemo Monday

If it's going down let's get it over with!!! I love to pack for trips so I am taking all my enthusiam in packing and packing my chemo bags. What are chemo bags you may ask? Well there are two types that I will have my everyday chemo bag and my chemo/herceptin day chemo bag.


My everyday chemo bag is just that a bag I have to carry around whenever I leave the house. It consists of a digital thermometer ( I have to take my temeprature throughout the day and if it gets over 100.4 I have to immediately start taking my antibiotics and call the Doctor), thermometer covers, neosporin, gloves, band aids, biotene for dry mouth, contact rewetting solution, tissues, toilet seat cover, travel size of contact solution and case, travel size spray lysol, face mask, hand sanitizer, blistex, q-tips and baby wipes.

I am still packing my chemo/herceptin day bag. I will take that bag when I go have chemo. My chemo session will last between 5-6 hours. So I have to take water, snacks, nooks, portable dvd, dvds, my journal etc..still packing. I have to invest in an Ipod I can't believe I haven't brought one yet, lol..
