My late Mother-in-law was in her early 60's when I had my first brain surgery in 1990. She sewed me two cotton skirts with matching scarves.

My head was completely shaved...

Less than 5 years later, after she had made many clothes (eg. T-shirt dresses) for her grand daughters, she dicided it would be cheaper to buy the pretty 'ready-made' ones at Wal-Mart... She also brought us many sweat shirts from their out-of-state trips.

The anti-nausea medication has improved in the past years. Besides your 'pre-meds' before the chemo infusion, you can ask for anti-emetic meds to take at home. I had been given several different 'sample' pills for nausea during my chemo for breast cancer. And then I was given a prescription for the one that had worked for me.

My nausea happened right before my 2nd treatment. As soon as I was hooked to the IV, the smell of the chemo agent brought back the memory and I threw up right away.

The hospital should have a list of the 'do's and don'ts' during chemotherapy/radiation. You can also find information on the Web.

I've found that sweet patato rice soup is easy for the stomach during chemo...

You could shave the other side to match.
