OK -
Erbitux starts tomorrow rads on Monday. I think I have my "house in order" but want to run my supply list past you all to see if I'm missing anything:
Humidifier
Vicks Vapo Rub - seems like a good idea on one hand to cut the mucous but wonder if the vapors would be irritating to my soon to be tender tissues
Protein shakes and varied soft, moist food options
Papaya Nectar - heard there's an enzyme in it that thins secretions -anyone ever try?
Artificial Saliva
Fluoride paste/gels
Extra soft tooth brush
Podcasts and Chemo playlists
Books
Movies
The pain meds will, of course, come as needed - can anyone recommend something else that I should have on hand?
I live alone and have a great support system but want to be as prepared as I can be.
Thanks - Jen
