Pulsetto

This is not strictly about my cancer, but about my anxiety. I've wanted to try one of these for ages! I'm currently not taking my meds that help anxiety while I am on chemo, so thought it might be a great time to try a med free option.

Heated vest

Sitting for 6hrs with an ice helmet, ice gloves and ice socks is really cold. I think this will help keep me a little warmer.

Kids craft items

Adara is going to have to entertain herself more than usual on days when I am unwell. Vouchers for craft supplies will always come in handy for my little artist.

Cleaner for a week

If I become very unwell then having someone else mop and clean the bathroom would be a huge help, and it would free Rod's time up to play with Adara instead of helping clean.

Dog Walker

Once I have surgery I won't be able to walk the dogs for at least 6 weeks. I think I'll hire someone for twice a week walks, and Rod can manage the others.

Protein snacks

I need protein with every meal and snack. I'm buying more protein powder, protein bars etc. Any help with our increased grocery need at the moment greatly appreciated.

Coles voucher

I am going to only be able to work about half the time while on chemo, and not at all for a few weeks after surgery. I don't have a huge amount of leave as I've only been at this job for a year. A voucher to help with food costs while living off one wage is a huge stress reduction.
