"Bringing Balance to Chemo Treatment”

What is balance? Oxford Dictionary : stability of one's mind and feelings.

How does one apply 'balance' to Chemo treatment? By equipping the patient with useful and practical steps to counter some of chemotherapy emotional and physical impacts.  

Every patient experiences chemo differently but some things are certain. Chemo side-effects are unavoidable, these side effects have both physical and mental impact. I am a Lymphoma survivor (twice!) so I have some first person Insights (Clothing, Food, Resources and Recovery) to aggressive chemo treatments, especially for inpatients. My Q-Tips (Quick Tips) are perfect for the newly diagnosed but can be useful for all cancer fighters. 

"The perfect companion for infusion treatments"

The sweatshirt looks and works like your everyday clothing, except it is infusion-friendly. It is the perfect companion to infusion treatment, especially for inpatients. It replaces your blanket toga so you are safer to walk to the bathroom or go on your small walks without feeling cold or exposed. If at anytime you get hot flashes during an infusion, then you can take it off like you would your own clothes. With LooopClothing sweatshirt you can pull it off or on while you are connected to your infusion pump and you can do it by yourself with no help from caregivers.

Most people don't know what we go through during treatment, so allow me to explain, its like you have a tube out of your chest (PORT) or your upper arm (PICC); you lug around the infusion pump until the infusion is finished; while being subjected to flimsy gown. When there is a slight chill from the air-conditioned hospital ward, a blanket is the only solution. Imagine going to the toilet with one hand wheeling the infusion pump while the other hand is holding onto a blanket over the shoulders, there is no tripping off of any unevenness of the floor because both hands are completely occupied. This is the reason why LooopClothing sweatshirt is the perfect companion, with LooopClothing sweatshirt the patient can maintain independence, normalcy and flexibility.
