Couple of other ones: - If you're going to do chemo and nobody recommends a port, ask about them...particularly if you are a tough stick. What used to be 5-15 minutes of agony and stress that would regularly involve bringing in the good hands team with the ultrasound kit turned into basically nothing. Ports can be used for labs as well fwiw. - If you are a tough stick and don't get a port, don't be afraid to ask for the ultrasound. - If you're inpatient for some reason and your chemo appointment is getting close, begin asking your doc and the attending about it ahead of time. Some hospitals will do an infusion in your room, some won't...and in those cases you might just miss a dose. - If you regularly need saline to keep up hydration there are in-home nursing facilities that can do this rather than having to go to the hospital every time. They can teach you to 'de-access' the port as well, so that they don't have to hang around for the hour to get through the bag. - Emesis bags are available on Amazon by the case. - If margins are starting to thin, make sure that there is regular bloodwork being done that covers iron, liver function and other diagnostics that are relevant to your situation. Some of these things are slow-movers and can interfere with your treatment plan when they get out of whack. Most of these are available without a referral/prescription from a local hospital or lab. - If you end up with a hysterectomy or because of your treatment have hot/cold issues in bed, the BedJet is absolutely amazing. https://bedjet.com/ https://bedjet.com/
