    Ditto on the recliner
    Ditto on the recliner! That chair was my husband's place to simply relax, sleep, eat, watch tv, he did it all with a remote and a bell. The bell? That was to call for me of course lol. I figured how else would he be able to get help if he needed it.

    The list above is a great resource, but I would start slowly. Everything is so overwhelming at first that you should try to take things as they come.

    Besides, EVERYONE here is so very, very helpful. Just ask and they will answer! Barbara

    Winged it
    I'm going to say I just winged it with what the Radiologist gave me, Aquaphor, face cream, along with scripts for magic mouthwash, lorazepam and pain meds but then I forgot my sister was better prepared, stocking up on Ensure and following up with the in-home nurses on supplies that I needed. Plus I had a sample bag from my dentisit that was helpful.

    we are just beginning
    Hi Joe,

    Wow, did you get all of that? You might need a truck and some strong friends to carry it all. Least we forget, a nice recliner, chair or couch where you can rest up between treatments.

    Good luck, just ask and see what you get.

    Best,

    Matt

    Ummmm Nooo, LOL...
    It's just a compilation of items that have worked for many... It is a pretty good list though. I probably used between 25 - 30 items or close on that list.

    I don't think anyone has went for it all, LOL... but you never know.
