@loula- Good afternoon Cynde. It's sunny and bright here in Southern New England. It looks as if spring might actually develop this year. I am feeling better. Thank you for asking. One of the first things that I panicked over when I found out that I would have Chemo was throwing up. What a baby I am. A friend who was an immersion nurse suggested that I get an RX for anti-nausea med and take it as soon as I got home, no matter what. I worried more about that than my cancer! It worked for me.

The chemo that I had was very tough stuff. I ate what tasted better for me and that included spicy things too! I feel this way about diet and cancer and chemo: eat what you can and as healthy as you can. Make sure that you drink a lot of water. I drank 8 glasses of water every single day. Chemo night I about camped out in the bathroom.

Don't be afraid to order in too, as a treat.

Most likely you will get a numbing shot before they insert the needle for the biopsy. This is the best way to determine what is best!

Bring some books or a portable DVD machine, or your computer. Find out if they will be bringing in lunch. You might also like some snacks. Grapes and crackers worked for me.

I will be here to hear you when you come back after your first day. I hope that your sister will stay with you, at least for the first night.

My best to you. You are stronger than you think!

Merry
