Chemotherapy is on the way folks... please do share what should we do pre chemo (food,mental health etc) and after the first chemo shot --just to stay afloat...

we managed to fight 35x IMRT - stay positive, pain management , food intake to make sure you are not under nutrient.

I frankly dont know what to expect for this chemotherapy sessions, I know hair will be lost, but the doctor keep assuring there will be support systems like medication to control nausea, blood count, etc...

Hoping for some feedback.

Really appreciate it guys...
