They told me the chemo they were going to use it might be the one you mentioned. i'm sure I'll get the name again. right now i can only focus on surgery. I want it to be Friday because the waiting is getting to me. Although the surgeon told me that a week or two would not make a difference. Seems like the days go in slow motion. Tonight I start with the skin prep. it's different this time. In previous surgery I used those wipes which were like over sized baby wipes but they have the cleanser on them this time its soap I think actually same stuff but in a bottle, tonight tomorrow night and Thursday night i do it. I have been really watching what I eat before i go in. I am drinking a lot of water too, and walking everyday. I heard chemo leaves a bad taste and everything tastes metallic. ( I'll have to wait and see). I got beef broth and chicken broth Another different thing is I am suppose to drink 8 oz of Gatorade or apple juice before going in within 2 hours, It is suppose to give me energy to help heal. it was a study done by Kaiser Permanente. They are my health provider. I'll be finding out what time I have to go in. It may be early like 0530 which is fine as i am positive i won't get much sleep the night before.
