Model in a Bottle Brow Sealer is great. It comes with two applicators and can be used to seal in color or to help your brows hold their shape. It lasts all day!  I've used Biotene products since before I started treatment. I read about and heard horror stories about what chemo can do to you rmouth - dryness, mouth sores, etc. I have brushing and rinsing 3-4 times per day and have had very few issues with my mouth. Not sure if this combination is the magic bullet but I'll continue to use them. It certainly can't hurt!  Since my sleep cycle can be a bit weird, I wanted a way to listen to my audiobooks, watch Netflix, etc without waking anyone else or having to wear earbuds. I wanted something inexpensive because, inevitably, I would fall asleep with them on and break them - not wearing the Bose headphones for that reason! I found these Phillips Bluetooth headphones for sale on NoMoreRack and, bless them, they have survived (knock on wood) this long. I have also let the kids use them because they can easily be replaced if/when they destroy them.   Taking care of your skin during treatment is important. I originally purchased the Eucerin because I knew I would need it during radiation. Good thing I did because My chemo nurses are constantly asking if I'm taking care of my skin. They are serious. They asked if I use good lotion and then put on gloves and socks. My oncologist told me recently that he had seen patients' skin come off of their hands. That was new to me! I I have several different "flavors" of Eucerin and I love them all. The Original Healing version, in the tub, is VERY thick stuff. I also have Daily Replenishing (good stuff, I even use this on the kiddos) and Intensive Repair in the big bottle and the hand cream version. I've been very happy with all of them and would recommend them to anyone!  This is a new addition to the list but I've been using it since week 2. At some point along the way I was told to NOT use deodorant with aluminum...did you even know your deodorant had aluminum in it?? Well, several articles I read suggested a switch plus I would have had to switch once radiation started. It works well and the scent is fresh. |
