Packed Chemo Bag

In some ways, my body will be going off into some distant land. So, I decided to make a trip out of my upcoming Chemo cocktail infusion clinic date.

I've embraced the color pink as my color of hope. With this embrace I figured I needed a separately packed "pink" bag ready for the experience. Having this setup will also help me in planning each 21 day-cycle in which I go in for a 5-6 hour drug session on one day followed by 20 days of recovery. I'm assuming Chemo-brain will be in effect after the first session. Then repeated Chemo cocktails will make me even more forgetful in remembering what items I'll need each time. Better just to be ready and not worry about forgetting anything by having this prepacked bag.

Below are the items I've packed away for my series of cocktails, starting on Tuesday, March 26, 2013.
