Hopefully all goes well today. Sorry we didn't get to you with too much help before your appt.
In the event that your appt is later today...
Ask if they have tested for HPV.
Have blood work done to get a thyroid baseline.
What type of treatment are you getting? Are they going to do any induction chemo?
Diflucan for prevention of thrush.
Miralax for constipation from the pain meds.
Are you getting a port and a PEG?
Christine is right...EAT, EAT, EAT!! Once you begin tx things will never taste the same. At least in the near future, your sense of taste will eventually return. So eat your favorites and then eat them again while you can!!
Just some things right off hand.
Good luck today. We are here for you. You have a rough journey ahead, but we have been there and you can do it!! Do you have help in your home?
Keep us posted,
Kathy
