She is coming home tomorrow and I want to make sure I have all the supplies that might make this first week after chemo as comfortable as possible. Does anyone have some suggestions of must haves? Tips or tricks? So far the anti-nausea drugs have worked great for her and she has not had any nausea. Our main concern is bleeding because she is already on blood thinners. She is 73 and had COPD before all of this started so not in the best of health but not terrible either.
Thanks so much and many healing prayers to all of you who are fighting the good fight!

Lots of water to flush the chemo and meds out. Anything yummy that she finds appealing to eat. Protien for strength.
