What Helped Me During My Chemotherapy Treatments
Nausea
- Putting organic ginger under my tongue
- Smelling peppermint oil
- Sucking on peppermint candy
- Using the nausea medicine the Dr prescribed
- Resting
- Being in sunlight, but not too much sun because your skin might be sensitive to direct sunlight
- Having a bucket or container near you if you do need to vomit
Blisters in my mouth
- Baking soda with warm water, my Dr recommended, salt and warm water, but that never worked with me.
- Not eating acidic foods
- Not eating crunchy foods
Hair loss
I cut my hair before I started my chemo treatment, short enough to make a small ponytail, so when my hair started to fall out, it was not all my hair falling out all at once.
I dealt with anemia
- Iron pills
- Green veggies
Peripheral Neuropathy
- I used cold therapy ice pack socks and gloves during my chemo sessions
- Resting when needed
- Comfortable shoes and socks, do not wear shoes and socks that are too tight
- Circulation is the key, so moving your toes and hands is good and massaging the areas with lotion is good as well
