I've been in a prechemo fog in preparation for my first round of chemo to start tomorrow. What should I bring? I understand a pillow, blanket, beverages, light snacks, and of course my sister SOS. Anything else? It's great to see all your postings and yes I feel the love and connection.

    Good luck with chemo. Sounds
    Good luck with chemo. Sounds like you have everything in control, well as much as we can control. I didn't eat during the chemo infusion. But others have.

    My chemo Nurses were absolute angels. I had TV and remote, blankets, pillows, snacks, drinks, lunch, books and anything else you could possibly want supplied for me. plus they were always available to talk or answer questions. They also made all other apts. for me.

    I am glad you can feel the love and connection we have here. You will be in my thoughts. Let us know how it goes.
    My best to you, jackie

    Seems like you're about as ready as can be...
    Best wishes to you for tomorrow. Drink lots of WATER, all through chemo. Keeps you hydrated, and flushes the system. I was adamantly instructed to drink AT LEAST eight glasses a day. (Still do.)

    Am glad your sister will accompany you. Keep us posted - we'll be here, every step of the way.

    By the way - love your new pic! Perfect for your screen name!
