My mother's having a masectomy on Monday and will have chemotherapy thereafter.
This is all very sudden and new to us and I know nothing about chemotherapy and the practical applications of it (exactly what's involved and how long it takes etc.) but wondered whether there was anything I could get her to listen to/distract her during the chemo sessions or whether that's a rubbish idea as she won't be able to/won't feel like doing anything.
Specifically I was thinking of sudoku books (ordinarily she loves sudoku)and perhaps some "Yes Minister/Prime Minister" tapes/CD's for her to listen to.
For anyone who knows, are these reastic/good presents or have I been watching too many films?!
TIA
