During and after chemotherapy your senses may feel like they have gone haywire. Taste changes are a very common side effect of chemotherapy. Your sense of smell might also change, and you might become overly sensitive to fragrances. You might get chills frequently or constantly feel cold. Your mouth may develop sores and feel very dry. You may feel nauseous. In this blog post we suggest a variety of products to create a "Chemo Goody Bag" - items to take with you to treatment - to reduce these uncomfortable physical side effects.

It can be so helpful to spend a little time in advance to put together a "care package" or "goody bag" of items for yourself that will enhance your comfort during chemotherapy sessions. Also, friends and caregivers who take the initiative to collect these items for the patient will be highly appreciated.
