The nursing staff I encountered when keeping Mum company during chemo were truly amazing, so kind and attentive. The chairs were comfortable, the room calm, and Mum made relationships with staff there that have helped her with aspects of her ongoing treatment across three different hospitals. Sometimes Mum would have an iceblock during treatment, I can't remember why now. As treatment went on Mum sometimes experienced some nausea before the treatment, they called this anticipatory nausea. As a daughter of a Mum I adore facing cancer treatment, I know I am able to cope better with my concern for her by being actively involved. I guess all hospitals are different but Mum's chemo ward never minded her having 1-2 people sitting quietly with her, and I know it meant a lot to her. Mum found the chemo very tiring, and the hair loss upsetting, but the only side effects that stayed with her from chemo have been some neuropathy in her feet. We did look into a fabulous program called Look Good, Feel Better just after her chemo. Although the dates clashed for us perhaps that is a program you could look forward to with your daughters. Hope your treatment goes well.
