10. And you don't want a strap next to your sensitive neck either.

Even some shirts will irritate it.

I found a shower chair helpful. I became very weak. My husband installed a hand held shower head in my bathroom. Made things a lot easier for me.

You can get a pill crusher and mix meds with water to send through the tube. If you take any now that don't come in liquid form.

Your urine will be toxic for a short time after each treatment (chemo). Make sure to close the lid before flushing (and flush twice) and keep some wipes handy for quick sanitizing. If that's not too personal. If it is, I'm sorry - but well... You excrete chemo from the body along the usual paths for bodily fluids...so care should be taken with coughs, sneezes, using the bathroom, etc..

You'll get a list. You should. Ask.
