Chemotherapy takes you for a ride. There are three cremes that I must have to survive this grueling process. The first creme is obvious, ice cream. Not just any ice cream, Hagan Daz Dulche De Leche. Must be in single size serving to help minimize the guilt for eating massive quantities. Don't judge. The second creme is Nipple Creme. My skin is is dry. Nipple creme commonly used for breast feeding mom's can fix just about any skin cut, tear, and or dry spot. Love me some nipple creme. The last creme to help with the swelling is hemorrhoid creme. This can reduce swelling anywhere on your body. The wipes are good to keep in your purse for emergency under eye relief. The steroids from chemotherapy can make you look like a swollen chipmunk. Find those cheekbones with hemorrhoid creme. The last piece of equipment is a must have. Medical Tape. During chemotherapy treatments they leave the tubing in your port. My port happens to be in my chest. Those tubes get into everything. It is like having a penis coming out of your chest. It flops left to right. Gets caught in your bra. Flops in the bath tub when you try to shave. Please tape that stuff up when it is not in use.
Survived three treatments. They took my tubing out and my three year old gave me a high five. He was so proud. Little G3 also helps me with my shots. He tells me I am very brave. Now I have a 10 day waiting period before my next treatment. Shots daily to help with my WBC. Lots to do to prepare for Christmas.
That is all I have . Carry on.
