Chemo class was this morning. I was late because the shuttle I took from the satellite parking lot to the hospital stopped twice in the middle of the road. When it braked at a red light, the driver would have to turn off the shuttle to get it going again. So I missed a video, but got a big binder of info on dealing with side effects and what to watch out for.
I met Marybeth my nurse and saw the area I'll be receiving chemo. I would say most of the patients in the waiting room are 60 and above. Instead of having blood drawn at 8:30 am tomorrow, I had it done today and passed by the image recovery center.
I wanted to check if they had the correct colored cap I needed for under my wig, but I ended up buying a whole bunch of products.
I bought another hat, but it's for sleeping and keeping my head warm so it's not cute like the other one. It's really soft though.
I also got:
Bee Pollen Shampoo--supposedly good for stressed hair

Where did you find out about these products? Did they give you recommendations in your reading materials?
They were recommended by the store. The image recovery center was founded by a previous chemo patients and has stores around the country. The scalp lotion feels really good on the hands, too!
