It is so true,the time before treatment is definitely the hardest.Like Deanne said,use it to get ready.Things I did were: Button up PJ's,soft singlet tops to wear under my PJ's and shirts(because in the beginning clothes can rub on your wound)I bought a GOOD drink bottle,because you have to drink so much water.I made sure I had a couple of books to read,and I also bought some crossword books(something that I don't ever do) I bought MooGoo wash,which has been great in the shower,as I didn't want to irritate my wound with soap.I am still using it,as my skin is dry from chemo.I bought a boomerang pillow,as when you first come home,you have to sleep on your back for a while,and this helped.i have definitely been eating really well.Drink only water,and I walk every day.My oncologist said to me,don't stop walking!I believe it is the one thing that has helped me in all of this.I walk 1.5 k. on a fitness trail near where we live.I hope this is some help to you.Take care and keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.xoxoxoRobyn.
