Preparing for chemotherapy can feel overwhelming, but planning and support can make a significant difference.
- Having a support system is key. Bringing a friend or family member to appointments can help you keep track of the details and offer emotional support. Additionally, communicate openly with friends and family about your needs. Small gestures, like helping with meals or errands, can make a big difference.
- Financial and workplace support are other practical considerations. Understanding the costs of treatment with a financial counselor can reduce stress, and securing accommodations at work, such as flexible hours, can help you balance work and treatment.
- Finally, self-care is essential during chemotherapy. Prepare a comfort bag with items like music, snacks, and warm clothes to make infusion sessions more comfortable.
