Smitty,
1. Don't miss any appointments and do everything your doctors say, especially with the pain meds. USE THE PAIN MEDS.
2. If you have a PEG, make sure to drink water all day, sip it constantly to keep your swallowing function in shape.
3. Don't try to be brave and tough, when you're tired take a nap. When you're sad, cry. Express your emotions.
4. Do NOT sit in the house! Take a walk EVERY day, no matter how poorly you may feel.
5. Put a calender on the refrigerator, cross off each day when you come home from treatment, and take one day at a time. It will pass quickly.
