1. Cancer Treatment Binder
2. Printer
Having a printer makes everything easier.
But, if you don’t have a printer or you don’t print things often, then an excellent alternative it to go to your favorite print shop like Staples and Office Depot that offer same day printing services.
3. Ballpoint Pens – Colors And More Colors.
Using Paper Mate Profile Retractable Ballpoint Pens is a great way to add color to your cancer binder.
Depending on your style you can choose to color coordinate your information – adding a specific color for a particular thing.
For example, having all your chemo appointments in purple, doctor visits in green, lab work in blue, and so on.
4. Thermal Laminator
I suggest getting a Thermal Laminator.
By laminating your documents (calendars, contact information, etc) you minimize the risk of them getting damaged. For example: spilled drink or a rainy day.
5. Washable Markers
Washable markers are the way to go.
They aren’t expensive and in combination with the Thermal Laminator, you can turn any printed PDF into something you can reuse a million times.
6. Sticky Notes – on Everything!
Adding Sticky Notes is a great way to add some color but also a reminder for last minute details or any important data to keep in mind.
You can add dates, times, or questions you don’t want to forget to ask your doctor.
