@jeffreyhoward,

Everyone's needs are different. Just be there for her, at the start and through her entire journey.

Sometimes the littles things will have the most impact. Her tastes will change, if she is craving something, bring it home and surprise her. My mom craved milk shakes, a friend's husband only wanted to eat French toast.

Few misc suggestions:
- As fatigue sets in, she may feel guilty about not being able to do what she did before. If your not into cleaning and can afford, hire someone.
- Treat her to pedicure or manicure. Maybe even have one yourself.
- If she is not up to activities, take her for a drive just to get out of house. While I was doing treatments seemed my life revolved around trips back and forth to clinic. Nice to do something else.

And take care of yourself. Your not going to be able to help her if your are not taking care of yourself.

Laurie
