Well I start Chemo on Tuesday. Will be every 3 weeks for 18 rounds - Docetaxel, Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphate.

Have changed my diet and actually lost 2kgs, which is good cause I'm overweight. Seeing a dietician tomorrow to make sure what I'm doing is right.
have my Netflix's cued up.

@Tingy great to hear the exercise is working for you :) I'm off to see an Exercise physiologist on a Friday, so for now just doing some walking. I hope I can keep up the enthusiasm!
and I cut my hair short from mid back level. I'm loving it, so will enjoy it for another week before I shave it off ;)
