@ffr Thank you! Smoothies are a great idea!
I'm curious about the overall ups and downs. Were there times during chemo when you felt good enough to go out (walks or time with a friend)? Did you have visitors? Or are you basically shutoff due to risks of infection (flu/Covid)?

@ffr This is so helpful to hear. I'm struggling to envision what life will be like through each cycle of treatment. The scariest is reading all the possible side effects. I've never taken medication - an ibuprofen maybe twice a year. So the side effects worry me even though I am youngish, healthy (other than cancer).
Did you use cooling cap, gloves or socks? I'm trying to avoid neuropathy primarily. The cap seems painful (I am so sensitive to cold) & a bit overwhelming to manage.
