’Walking defiantly’ is a wonderful
way to go, keep it up! Drinking a great deal of water is essential if suffering nausea or diarrhoea, but not quite so critical if you are spared those side effects. Best wishes. 

Hi @Cath62   Yes I've had the crashing and loss of sense of time kicking in a day or two after chemo - walking defiantly helps even if its just a bit of a shuffle on those off days*!*

Hi @D2Dizzy    The wonderful advice and tips shared by others here have been very helpful to me to get through the uncertainty and anxiety of my first chemo treatments.    One thing that I've found works for me is to keep a simple daily record of what I eat and drink - comes in handy on those days when you have a bit of brain fog happening and don't know what you fancy or your taste buds are behaving oddly.   Water can taste unpleasant some days and I've found that if I add a drop or two of blackcurrant juice which makes it more pleasant for me.  And to help me remember how much I'm drinking I have 1 - 10 written down at top of page and tick a number off each time I fill up another glass.  I also add the meds taken and my temperature - it just gives me a better understanding of my "new day to day"    Smiles to you*!*

Thanks Cath62 for your wishes
Have been told to exercise. My husband and I usually walk each night so will try to keep this going

Hi @D2Dizzy, just wanted to wish you all the best with the chemo. Agree water is great but also gentle walks if your up to it. Walking helps physically but mentally too. Take care 💐

Rural SA is having a hard time.
Hopefully they are getting the help they need now.
I am just outside of Adelaide so only have a short drive to treatments which is fortunate.
