First chemo - Any suggestions?
Hi all,
I am going in for my first chemo tomorrow.
Any tips on what I should take, or wear, or anything?
I'm getting pretty nervous now.
Cheers,
Juli

- Wow. Thanks Donna. I like being told straight, none of this airy fairy crap. Thank you I will drink and drink to flush that crap out of my system ( water, and with in sensible reason).. I will look into fruit tingles Other ladies have also given some great suggestions. Like lemonade ice blocks and ginger ale I have now purchased some of these. And also drinking plenty. And yes I am now hearing day three is not good... I hope you are feeling much better now Cheers juls

- Thank you Donna. Thank you every body. First chemo done. The actual chemo session was nothing. At all really. But I realise there may be further side effects in the following days. The chemo ladies were just fantastic. Made me feel calm and safe. Well done QEH chemo unit. Cheers. Xxxx

Hi take someone with you if you can, it does help if you have someone to hold your hand. First time is always the hardest, not to say it gets any easier but Marg is right one closer to the finish. Good luckx
maybe some snacks and something to entertain you. you will be fine - it takes a couple of days before it all kicks in. That will be one done an d closer to the finish line.
