Hi, I'm a cancer survivor who is working to help other patients/survivors. Thinking about your treatments and side effects, physically, mentally, etc. What type of items could someone give you to help make you more comfortable. Example: I had dry mouth and nausea - fruit flavored hard candy helped. Reading helped me pass the time during chemo and transfusions. Your feedback is appreciated. No idea is too small to list. |

Hi,
I had a problem with constipation from the Vincristine in my chemo. I took one Senokot tablet every night after eating diner and had no more problems. I also suggest Soothe eye drops for dry eyes caused from chemo. Every tip helps. Sue (FNHL-2-3a-6/10)

I diluted cranberry juice in a half gallon jug every day so I would know exactly how much I drank. The cranberry juice even though it was a very small amount made it better then drinking plain water. I had Ensure on hand in case I didn't want to eat. Someone brought me these wonderful ginger snaps in csse I felt a little sick. They were so good I ate them when I felt great also:) I watched only happy things on tv, and prayed. I put prayed last but it was the most important. I also read a fabulous book everyday called EVERYDAY STRENGTH By Randy Beecton. We give them to all people in the Hope Cancer group.
