Kate Thaxton has a great post today about rules for the chemo room. My personal favorite:
Eat your Big Mac before you step foot into the chemo room, even if that means cramming it down while standing in the elevator. Most chemo patients walk the line between nausea and hunger - the smell of french fries will usually send us running for the bathroom.
I’ll admit, I’m slightly guilty of this, especially since Starbucks is just down the street from our center. Also, since Holly tries to get the first appointment of the day, I’m usually downing breakfast there. I promise, Kate, I’ll try harder not to do this in the future.
I do love that our center brings lunches from Panera to patients and their families. We are usually gone by then, but it is a nice touch. I usually get free cokes and JR’s.
I’m pretty tired of cancer ruining weekends, evenings, day trips, mornings, visits from friends and whatever else you want to think about that you deal with on a day to day basis.
