Publisher's Synopsis
Chemotherapy Self Care Journal: Chemo Logbook: Chemotherapy Treatment Cycle Chart Tracker for Side Effects-Appointments Diary Planner Journal-Relaxing Coloring Calendar Gift Book.
Chemotherapy treatment is planned by a cancer doctor who will explain the aims of the treatment and possible side effects. Your oncology doctor will ask you to sign a form agreeing to treatment and may talk to you about chemotherapy clinical trials. You may also see an oncology nurse and a pharmacist. Chemotherapy is usually given to patients as several sessions of treatment, with rest periods in between. Chemotherapy and the rest period make up one cycle of your treatment.
Your cancer doctor will explain the number of cycles you need. Sometimes treatment involves having chemotherapy in more than one way and this should be explained to you by the doctor. If your chemotherapy treatment plan needs to be changed, your cancer doctor or nurse will explain the reason why. Your cancer doctor and nurse will monitor you closely during treatment and they will find it useful if you are able to provide them with your own feedback using information you record in this journal. It saves having to remember details from memory!
This chemotherapy self care journal for patients or caregivers will enable you to record and track chemo cycles and help you to slow down, take a deep breath and get focused on you, and what you need to do for yourself first!
