Can anyone help a new member about to start chemotherapy end of the month with advice about preparing themselves , coping during treatment and any other advice they can share ?
My best advice for surviving chemo is drink heaps of water before, during and after treatment. Even mild dehydration makes it harder to find a vein and increases your chance of nausea and constipation.. Chose water over tea or coffee when you are in the chair. Accept offers of help that are actually helpful and smile vaguely when people say/do/advise ridiculous things. Good luck
