Stay hydrated and consume enough daily calories to help your body heal. Try to stay positive. Exercise will help combat fatigue, so get some walking in. As always, keep your treatment team informed and ask for meds as needed. It will be difficult, but you can do this and beat cancer.
The number of people involved in my care (@ a CCC) is humbling. Doctors, nurses, therapists, support staff, & of course, family. With everyone fighting for me to beat cancer the least I can do is fight back and win!
