The best advice that was given to me prior to and during chemo was -Go with the flow. If you are feeling low - STOP and do nothing. If you feel OKAY then do and eat what you feel like. Good luck with the chemo. I too was terrified as I did not know how my body would react but I got through it - will never do it again!!! (Unless my family begs me to) The "thing" that got me through was the knowledge that many others had gone before me and had survived the experience. You will too - just be very kind to yourself and make sure others know how you feel. Chemo is a time that you have to be "high maintenance" and "selfish - only thinking of yourself". Everyone who has chemo is BRAVE, BRAVE. I wish you all the best and as the others have stated - this site will be a godsend to you. XLeonie
