Hi, Eagle
this is a very scary time, but there are aspects of your treatment and recovery you CAN take control of - and DOING something positive will help you feel and do better. Regarding the sleep - make sure you avoid caffience after, say, 1:00 as it takes about 10 hours to mostly clear your system. Walking or other moderate excercise - especially early in the day - will help with your endorphin levels and let you sleep better at night. Is there a tai chi class you could take? That is very focused, and if you can get the techniques worked out now, you might be able to continue it through much of therapy! Walking our dog (now sadly over the rainbow bridge) helped my husband and me manage the stresses of diagnosis and therapy.

There are many posts on this site with excellent tips on nutrition and hydration. One of the factors in how effective your treatment turns out is how closely you are able to adhere to the schedule. You want as little drama as possible, and that means taking came of yourself as best as possible. And that is something that you have a decent amount of control over.

Do you have someone that can help as a caregiver? Many of our members have gone it alone and done fine, but there are some pretty tough bits, and help can make a world of difference.
