  4. Practical Preparation: • Work Arrangements: Discuss with your employer about your treatment schedule and the possibility of flexible working hours or taking medical leave. • Transportation: Position for transport to and from the hospital, especially on days when you might not feel well enough to drive. • Comfort Items: Bring items to make your treatment sessions more comfortable, such as a blanket, pillow, books, or music. • Household Help: Arrange for help with household chores, childcare, and errands to reduce your stress and focus on your recovery.
