Chemotherapy | Complete Care Box

Satin Pillow Case

Satin pillowcases are a more affordable option than silk, but still retain all of the benefits of silk in protecting fragile chemo hair. Unlike cotton, satin is non-absorbent, which means these pillow cases are ideal for helping to retain moisture in your hair (and skin – an added bonus). Moisturised hair is less prone to breakage and with satin's smooth surface your hair will also be less likely to knot and tangle. Pillowcase measures 49cm x 73cm and has an envelope opening. Colour light grey.

 

Microwaveable Body Wrap

These soothing body wraps can be heated in a microwave and used to help relieve some of the discomfort from aching muscles and joint pain that chemotherapy treatment can cause. They can also provide comforting warmth or alternatively, they can be chilled and used as a cooling compress. The cover is made from 100% pure cotton which is gentle on the skin and filled with flaxseed fragranced with lavender essential oil.

 

Hydration Drinks Bottle

It's so important that your loved one stays hydrated during chemo and a great way to prompt them is to give them their own Chemotherapy water bottle. These fruit diffuser bottles have a section in which you can place fresh fruit to give the water a gentle fruity taste which can help if your loved one is experiencing 'chemo mouth' - that nasty metallic taste. The diffuser is removable to make cleaning super easy and means the bottle can also be used without the fruit attachment. Bottles are BPA free, measure approximately 30cm tall and have a lift up handle for carrying. 750ml bottle.

 

CupCake Socks

These super cute, fluffy socks come packaged to look like a Cupcake and will keep your loved one's feet cosy and warm during and after treatment. 98% polyester fibre, 2% spandex.

 

Queasy Drops

Queasy Drops have been developed by healthcare professionals. They contain powerful essential oils proven to relieve nausea which can be an unfortunate side effect of chemotherapy. They are completely natural, drug free and 100% safe. Queasy Drops are also a natural way to alleviate a dry mouth and strange tastes in the mouth. They can be a great way to manage nausea and queasiness during chemotherapy treatment.

 

Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream with 10% Urea

Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream is often recommended by healthcare professionals for oncology skin care. It's a non-greasy, deeply moisturising cream which helps to prevent peeling and cracking of the skin, particularly during chemotherapy treatment. Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream contains 10% urea which is well-known for its hydrating, exfoliating and protecting properties. Fragrance free.

Anti Nausea Wrist Bands

Anyone who has experienced nausea will know how draining it can be. This is why we have included these anti-nausea wristbands as a natural way to ease some of the negative effects it can have. 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. It is widely believed that pressure on this point relieves nausea and vomiting.

 

Cotton Moisturising Gloves

Some chemotherapy drugs may cause sore, dry hands and feet. These cotton gloves are a must have for dry hands and nails. Helping skin to lock in moisture, these non-absorbent gloves work by warming the skin making creams and lotions soak into every crevice keeping hands supple and hydrated for longer.

 

Cotton Moisturising Booties

These white, cotton moisturising socks can help lock in moisture to combat the drying effects on skin and nails of chemotherapy treatment. Socks are soft, lightweight and breathable. One size fits most as material is slightly stretchy.
