Sherry - all great advice above. Do you like to read? I got an audio book and put it on my iPod and borrowed some portable speakers from a friend (since they wouldn't let me use the earbuds during treatment) and balanced them on my stomach. I won't lie and say I actually looked forward to treatment... but having a bit of the book to listen to each day made it more tolerable. If you do this, pick a book you really like or one you've always wanted to read. Splurge. Read whatever you want!

Please keep us posted, ok? You'll get through this, and we're here to help you feel less alone.
