I came across a wonderful site this week. I had previously mentioned how music can help with pain management during chemo, and it turns out, listening to anything can help - even a book on tape! With that in mind, and knowing that my sister has someone in her family starting chemo soon, I’m going to suggest that she check out these audiobooks for download. The owner of the site, Jennifer, knows first hand how books can take your mind off things when caring for a cancer patient, or dealing with cancer yourself. She and her mom used the books to take their minds off their troubles when her little sister was going through treatment. Adults going through chemo can download the books and use it to pass the time during treatment. Stuck in a waiting room for hours? Bring an audio book and transport yourself to another time or place with a great work of fiction. Audio books are especially good for sick patients who maybe can’t deal with holding a regular book due to pain or IV’s, too.
