Chemotherapy | Soothing Chemotherapy Care Box

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.

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.

Spacemasks make a great, indulgent treat for anyone facing the stress of cancer treatment. Cruelty free and vegan. Single Mask.

 

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.
