All of the above are good suggestions. I was advised to take an electric razor to prevent nicks when shaving...I didn’t use it very much after the first cycle since I lost all of my hair. I also had books to read and even coloring books which helped pass the time. Let me know if you have and questions about DA EPOCH-R.

Jomorisin - bring whatever will make you comfortable - your own pillow and your own pajamas. Bring snacks like crackers and bars if you think you will be hungry. I hope the food there is good, Some oncology units have snacks, including ice cream, available. don't hesitate to ask. I agree with everything Kelly said.

Hi! I would call your Oncologist office and speak to a nurse. When I was in the hospital when I was first diagnosed I had to use their gowns because of the IV. However, I've seen people bring lounge/PJ bottoms since you'll be there several days. My hospital food was good. They let me have a nightly snack. (They wanted me to eat I had no appetite because I was pretty ill in the beginning before I was diagnosed. My first chemo was at night after my diagnosis) I took toiletries, and phone charger. I wore their sock slippers too. I sweated so badly at night that I used their gowns. (I was sweating before I was admitted too) of course my meds they gave me while I was in the hospital. (12 days) I found they were very much accommodating if I needed something. Plus, my husband came daily and would bring something if I needed it. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask. Kelly

Thank you RP. I most certainly will.

Thank you Jeanne!
