“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.”
Proverbs 4:7
The Radiation “Get List” (Cancerventures Book Excerpt)
…(Before you undergo radiation, you will need stuff).
Radiation Get List:
A large tote bag, as there will be no Sherpa to help you lug your stuff around.
Any device which streams Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etcetera, for all your waiting and distraction needs. (“Hubby” bought a Kindle Fire for me and it has been a sanity saver. I’ve watched a lot of bad television, cute animal videos and documentaries on it).
Aquaphor and Aloe Vera Gel, to keep your skin from bursting into flames.
Miaderm-especially when your skin starts tightening and cracking. (This product is a
Godsend).
Ice packs (again, for when your skin feels like it’s on fire).
Large soft cotton button- down shirts, because you will have difficulty putting things on and taking them off over your head.
Large, disposable T-shirts (because the Aquaphor and Aloe Vera goop will make your clothes greasy). Don’t wear anything silk when you’re this slimy!
Leggings and comfy clothes for radiation- comfort. (If you want to wear ballgowns and tiaras, that’s your business. But soft, lounge attire, verging on pajamas, is what is needed).
Alright, let’s get irradiated…
