Dear Mentors or members, I could use some guidance from you on where to post, please. I joined a few months ago, and I'm not sure how to post a new question in the right spot among all these threads. I have tried to not to jump in on stuff from a few years ago, and to find the current ones. Thank you.

Here is my first question since I started chemo #1 on 10/28/2024.
Question: Anyone experience my feelings about their pre-chemo patient education session w/ a nurse practitioner where I wished the NP had given me a handout for my first treatment to record my meds, pain level, food intake, & notes to bring to the next session before treatment #2? Is this a common occurrence or is it just my NP? I'm tempted to tell him about this on my first meeting this week. What do you think?

I found some records to use on this site thanks to you mentors.

Second, I bought a large print paperback book on Amazon to record my meds. I was having most of my nausea on days 4 -6 to my surprise & don’t know what I would have done without it.

And last, a Dr. Griggs on You Tube helped me to prepare how to record the anti-emetics I needed to manage for Cisplatin and Pemetrexed. She is an breast cancer oncologist, but her info applied to my lung chemotherapy.

(NSCL stage 2-B, moderate growth of one primary 5.2 cm adenocarcinoma tumor, negative nodes, w/ negative biomarker for immunotherapy.)

It's been hard for me. I go from grumpy to weepy to despair to hope.

Thank you for your help.
