How do you manage chemo treatments when you're going through it alone?

Hi I’m Michael. I have visited earlier. I’m alone and I don’t recommend it even if my doctors say I can. I lost my wife 3 months prior and nobody to help. So I’m getting ready to do my 4th treatment of chemo. You learn what you need bedside and on good days get busy with laundry and shopping for food stuff you need because the next treatment will be worse. I usually don’t eat solid food for the 10 plus days after chemo and I try to make up later for 8 days and then back to chemo. I wish you all the best and less pain I’m going through. Love you all !

Going through treatment without a support system presents unique challenges that many in this community understand. Building a routine around treatment days - like stocking up on essentials during stronger days and having easy-to-digest foods readily available - shows incredible strength and planning. Consider reaching out to local support services, online communities, or even asking your medical team about resources that might help make this journey a bit easier.
