Preparing for a first chemotherapy experience

Nancy Stordahl’s guide focuses on the emotional and practical preparations surrounding a first course of chemotherapy. It addresses what to expect on the first treatment day and offers strategies for getting ready mentally, alongside topics such as self-advocacy, hair loss, choosing a wig, and journaling. The book’s scope brings concrete tasks together with the challenge of facing treatment while feeling overwhelmed or afraid. It presents these subjects as support for the period before chemotherapy begins, without replacing medical guidance about treatment itself.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People preparing for chemotherapy for the first time
  • Readers seeking practical information about self-advocacy and hair loss during chemotherapy
  • Those interested in mental preparation and journaling before treatment
