I find the cutout for the tailbone in the back to be key for lasting comfort. I've tried so many in the past and the comfort level always dropped after many hours.
Hi there, I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. My mom also had DLBCL and completed her last chemo Aug 2019. I took cre of her the entire time. Some things that were essential:
Pediacare Advanced Care Electrolytes to keep her electrolytes in check
LOTS of water!!! She only experienced nausea as a side effect once and threw up once while on chemo. I made her hydrate EVERY day and I think this helped her in the long run. You have to make sure you're hydrated especially BEFORE each chemo AND after. This will help.
Soft mittens for in patient stays. The chemo seemed at times to make her hands cold.
Large, roomy socks. She didn't have a huge issue with neuropathy but again the chemo does weird things to the extremities.
Ensure ENLIVE - we used this when her appetite was low to help build protein and calories.
For her PICC I would make big rectangles of folded saran wrap. Like two of these and then place them over her entire line, overlaping all edges. Then I would wrap the entire with this tape. The 2 in. size. This was the best method for the shower. She never used an actual sleeve when at home since she wore loose longer sleeve clothing.
Magic mouthwash - get this from your dr and make sure you have refills. She had a few instances of mouth sores.
A soft toothbrush - your gums will be sensitive
Chapstick for dry lips
A good body cream like cerave or cetaphil.
A soft beanie for the hospital. My mom had one that was fleece that she liked for inpatient stays.
Not sure if you'd need one but this.
A good scale so that you can measure your weight.
A good and reliable thermometer.
Start a journal/calendar where you document your weight, temp, meds, symptoms. This is super handy. It can help pin down at what points in your chemo cycles you may expect to have symptoms.
You may want to get some baby wipes or request the ones from the hospital with simethicone. You may experience GI issues (which includes the rectum) with some chemo meds. These will help better than regular TP.
Make sure you get a very mild bath soap. You may get skin sensitivity.
Ginger chews and peppermint candy (both can be found on Amazon) to help with nausea.
LOTS OF WATER!
I hope this helps. If I remember anything else I will DM you. Also if you have any questions feel free to reach out. Godspeed on your healing and the best of luck to you.
Edit: Formating :(
The most important thing to get the most out of your standing desk is a good anti-fatigue mat. Do not cheap out on that... it's so important. Most of the cheaper ones are too thin or compress too much.
I have had this one for a few years and can't imagine working without it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V3TO9EK/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Sk6eDb095RT95 Take a look at some others on Amazon to see if you like the shape/size better, but this one has some great features; it is thick enough for me as a 6'6" 380lbs guy to not smoosh it, and the ball in the center is great for keeping your feet moving, as is the big hump on the back (which I can stand on with both feet and not compress). I do calf raises with the back hump to keep stretched out throughout the day.
Also, for sitting I have a seat cushion that works well and doesn't deform too much. It's also cool- I've found other ones to get hot fast for some reason. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014F18ZGU/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_hp6eDbT3R0PPE
Finally, as u/searine said, pay very close attention to your ergonomics. Look online at diagrams of how your arms/hands/neck should be positioned. Get yourself a monitor stand (I have a triple that just clamped right on the back of the desk and is very adjustable... saved a ton of desk space too!)
Good luck.
I'm sure there are others that would work, the tailbone cutout is the important part. The memory foam/gel combo is comfortable, too. Make sure you take some breaks, 10 hours is a long stretch even if you're in perfect health.
