I know being in the comfort of your own home is good for the soul. Take this time to heal and eat up while you can! Treatment is an animal one has to experience to truly understand. I could tell you all kinds of things but it's like the difference between looking at pictures of the Grand Canyon and standing on the edge. Once you're in the battle you'll see what I mean.

Treatment is brutal but you'll get through it. Use the pain and nausea meds and stay ahead of symptoms. It's much easier to keep symptoms at bay as opposed to getting them to go away once they start. No matter how much it hurts, make sure you continue to swallow through out. Speaking of meds, I started using one of those AM/PM pill organizers during treatment due to the sheer number of meds I was taking and it's really come in handy. Between the # of meds, and the narc fog /chemo brain, it really helped.
