Whether it’s a planned stay or part of your treatment schedule, preparing for a hospital visit during cancer treatment can be daunting. Having your own comforts close can make a world of difference.
Here’s what to consider packing:
Choose breathable, easy-on pieces (button fronts are especially useful for infusions or check-ups).
A soft blanket, warm socks, or a familiar pillowcase (or even your own pillow) can help you feel more at ease in a hospital setting.
Books, puzzles, headphones, or a tablet with your favourite shows help pass the time and distract from discomfort.
Lip balm, moisturiser, hand cream and facial spray offer gentle comfort for skin that might feel dry or sensitive. Don’t forget a reusable water bottle or double walled bottle to keep hot drinks warm during the day or night.
Pack snacks that are gentle on your stomach but also feel like a treat—think mints, herbal teas, or a favourite biscuit.
Helpful for jotting down questions, appointment details, or just thoughts and reflections. A mindfulness or cancer journal can be good for this purpose too.
