I can just picture you doing this Tina. Made me chuckle!!
We carried water and tissues as well as several of the new bags they have in hospitals now for puke. Also had a bucket handy in several rooms.
I agree completely with the don't buy too much of one thing idea as taste will change daily. DON'T try ginger ale for the upset stomach. It burns terribly! Be sure they give you lots of anti-nausea meds.
Kevin liked scrambled eggs every morning for several months (we had induction chemo too). Even when they started tasting funny, they slid down easily and were protein. Pasta with butter was the same way (minus the protein).
His dx was the same as your husband Gloria, except nodes were only on the right side.
