oh..... now there are so many different ones ....its hard to advise anyone cos we all react differently,
listen to your doc/nurses.... listen to your body, for me taking control and shaving your head is good if you know its going anyway, on your terms, but not all chemo makes u lose your hair,
stock the freezer with ice lollies, strong flavours help as food usually tastes strange, rest when u need too
i know they are a bit general... but so was your question, good luck with it
ice lollys are a great idea...try and eat when u can...even jus little bits. i try n avoid foods i like b4 treatment as i tend to go off them because of the nausea. :) hope it goes ok for ya
I had to drink a lot of water for the first couple of days after Chemo which tasted quite boring so found flavoured fruit juice worked. I also eat melon with breakfast which seems to hydrate me.
I agree that it is good to cut hair short to avoid that "furry animal" in the shower and in your bed. Oh I found keeping a lint roller by the bed handy to "de-hair" my pillow when my hair was dropping out.
Good luck with your treatment and I wish you well.
It wasn't too bad, when they finally got the needle in that was!!! Have been sick a couple of times and been tired, but that's it for now. Hope it stays that way.
Am eating regularly, just having what I fancy and drinking plenty.
