What's In Your Treatment Bag????

Going to chemo treatments was an all-day affair for me and I always brought a large bag filled with items to keep me entertained, comfy and warm.

Because I have incurable metastatic breast cancer, I must continue receiving targeted therapy drugs every three weeks via infusion. This treatment lasts about three hours and I bring a smaller bag with helpful items.

A treatment bag is a very thoughtful gift to give someone undergoing cancer treatment. I appreciated the ones I received very much. Here is what is in my bags:

This was my Chemo Treatment Bag. 

  • Vera Bradley purple tote with cancer buttons and pins from "Princess and the C"
  • A heart pillow from a breast cancer survivor since you sleep through most of the treatment
  • "I Grand Jete Over Cancer" zip-up from Corgasaur 
  • Princess Ariel scarf that is reiki treatment from my cousin Katie
  • Love Your Melon hat from Dancers Care Foundation and Starbound National Talent Competition for when my head gets cold
