@lisakinpa My have my first AC chemo session tomorrow morning and it’s hard to believe it’s a holiday week. We’re (meaning my husband and I) are as ready as we’ll ever be. It’ll be good to get one behind us instead of continuing to think about and prepare. Thanks for your encouragement. It make me feel less alone.

Welcome to Mayo Connect, @marciapell. I'm glad that you found this online support group. I know you will find support here from members like @lisakinpa, @trixie1313, @auntieoakley and @cindylb.

Have you already had other treatments such as surgery or radiation?

I know exactly how you feel. You’ll feel better once your treatment plan begins.

Be sure to eat a light healthy breakfast with some protein before you leave.

Be sure to listen to any post treatment instructions (your husband can help) or they should give you a printout of all instructions post chemo.

With A/C chemo, be proactive with anti nausea medications. Don’t wait and suffer.

For most of us that took A/C chemo, the hardest days are days 2-4.

Try to start moving around when you feel you can to get the blood circulating to your organs. They’re working overtime!

Know that you’ll get through it and will be okay. Don’t fight the chemo but see it as a means to help you.

And enjoy your Benedryl nap. Don’t fight it but instead, relax. ♥️🙏♥️
