Chemotherapy | Chemo Chair Care Box

2 in 1 Pillow Blanket

Chemotherapy can often leave a person feeling cold and drained, meaning our 2 in 1 fleece Pillow Blanket is a chemo must have. It can be used as a pillow for comfort or unzipped to become a snuggly blanket and it's compact enough for your loved one to take with them to use in the chemo chair. Plush fabric is super soft for sensitive chemo skin. 100x160cm. Random colour allocation.

 

Memory Foam Neck Pillow

People are often surprised by how long IV chemo actually takes. This Memory Foam Neck Cushion will enable your loved one to get comfortable when they are spending hours in the chemo chair. Size: 27 x 27 x 8cm approx. Random colour allocation.

 

Satin Eye Mask

This relaxing Satin Eye Mask can be used to block out light and help your loved one relax and maybe even have a little snooze in the chemo chair. Size w225 x h120 x d20mm. Random colour allocation.

 

Water Tracker Bottle (1litre bottle)

It's so important to stay hydrated during chemotherapy treatment and it’s often easier to take small sips regularly throughout the day. A great way to remember to take these regular sips, is with a ‘Water Tracker’ bottle. A time tracker on the bottle reminds your loved one when they should be taking that next sip to ensure they drink little and often throughout the day. Random colour allocation.

 

Hydration Sachet (2 x 3g)

Containing zero sugar and no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives, these hydration sachets offer a faster way to restore a healthy level of hydration than drinking water alone. Random flavour allocation.

 

Nausea Relief Wristbands (1 pair of reusable acupressure wristbands)

Research has shown that patients who wore acupressure wristbands reported less chemotherapy related nausea on the day of treatment compared with those who didn't wear them. The plastic stud attached to the inside of the wrist band exerts pressure and stimulates the P6 (or Nei-Guan) acupressure point and it is widely believed that pressure on this point relieves nausea and vomiting.

 

Queasy Drops (pack contains 21 lozenges)

Queasy Drops have been developed by healthcare professionals. They contain powerful essential oils proven to relieve nausea which is a common side effect of chemotherapy. They are completely natural, drug free and 100% safe.

 

Peppermint Xylitol Chewing Gum (15g / 10 pieces)

Mint is well known for relieving nausea and this minty fresh gum is sugar-free and sweetened with 100% Xylitol, a naturally derived ingredient. Studies have shown that Xylitol can help reduce tooth decay by helping to prevent plaque bacteria sticking to the teeth. Oral complications are common with chemotherapy treatment and so dental hygiene is especially important. Chewing Xylitol Gum can also help to relieve a dry mouth that some people get when going through chemo treatment.

 

Sour Cherries Gummy Sweets (120g)

People going through chemotherapy treatment often experience an unpleasant metallic taste in their mouth. Sucking sour sweets can help to alleviate this.

 

Neat Natural Energy Bar (2 x 45g bar)

Chemotherapy treatment can affect the taste and appetite. Neat Natural Energy Bar is a delicious and nutritious vegan snack bar made using natural ingredients with no added sugar and no palm oil. Random flavour allocation.

 

Brain Games Puzzle Book

Chemotherapy treatment can involve a lot of waiting around which is why we've chosen this book as there’s plenty to keep your loved one occupied during hospital visits. A brain workout can also help to exercise a 'chemo brain'. From cryptic codes to logic puzzles, the Brain Games Puzzle Book has something for everyone with a variety of difficulty levels.

 

Evian Facial Spray (50ml)

Evian Facial Spray is particularly refreshing if skin is feeling dry and sensitive from cancer treatment and provides welcome relief if feeling nauseous or hot & sweaty from chemotherapy treatment. The lightweight mist is hypo-allergenic and has a neutral pH, completely free from chemical treatments and is safe for all skin types.

 

Botanical Hand Sanitiser (50ml)

Chemotherapy compromises the immune system making it more difficult to fend off viruses and bacterial infections. The all natural Botanical Hand Sanitiser will enable your loved one to keep their hands hygienically clean even when they don’t have access to soap and water.

 

Bamboo Pocket Tissues (1 packet containing 10 tissues)

It's always handy to have a packet of tissues around when dealing with the emotions that a cancer diagnosis can bring, but did you know that alongside hairloss, chemotherapy patients lose their nasal hair and eyebrows & eyelashes often resulting in a runny nose and watery eyes. Made from 100% sustainable bamboo, these tissues are eco-friendly and plastic free and they are also naturally hypoallergenic.

 

Stress Ball

Stress balls are great for relieving tension and pent up frustration. The repeated pattern of grip and release helps to alleviate tension & stress and is an activity that your loved one can do anywhere. Stress balls can also be used to help pump veins which is useful when having IV chemotherapy and they can also help to ease chemotherapy induced neuropathy.

 

Thinking of You Postcard
