You’re getting your ‘ducks in a row’…☺️.
The list: Sounds like you’re set with your laptop, phone, etc., with chargers and extension cord.

For the hospital and, just in general, my slippers were Keen Howser Slippers. They had firm souls and easy to slide into but gave support for my walking in the hospital. They looked cute with jeans or my jammies.

Another great thing that I loved are the cushy socks with the rubber dots on the bottom. I wore those in bed to keep my feet warm but if I needed to get up for something I didn’t worry about slipping on the floor before I could get my shoes on.

Any time I stayed in the hosptial I still got dressed daily and seldom stayed in my PJs. I think it helps psychologically to be dressed and not feeling like an invalid. I didn’t wear jeans but had some nice yoga pants and cute loose tops to accommodate my port. Though you are having one in your arm so you don’t have to worry about the neckline being loose enough.

Tooth brush and floss are discouraged once you start chemo. You will be very susceptible to infection so no brushing or flossing as that can introduce bacteria into your blood stream. You’ll most likely be given or instructed to purchase, spongy brushes. I had a difficult time with those so I used pieces of tissue or sterile gauze 2x2’s to ‘rub’ my teeth and gums. You may also be given a specific medicated mouth rinse to use a couple of times per day.

Make up: I wore none, having lost my eyelashes and most of my eyebrows with my previous cancer treatments. Makeup was the last thing on my mind. But I do remember it was discouraged because of the possibility of mascara wands harboring bacteria. Not sure about eye pencils. You can ask your team what they think.
Like you, I did have some cute caps because my head would get cold.

Your lips may be dry so lip moisturizers are a must.
My skin was very dry too. Beyond what a lotion could help so I ended up with Bert’s Bee Baby Balm. Cocoanut oil also helped.

You’ll have a lot of little details that pop up. Another little thing is if you wear prescription glasses, you could take a spare pair along.
Not sure how laundry is handled for you. Since I was an outpatient, my husband did all my laundry…jammies, t-shirts, skivvies. The only thing the hospital laundered was hosptial attire. If I was in the clinic for an extended stay he still took my clothing back to the hotel to wash.

I’m glad your family is getting behind you now! That’s a good boost for you!!
