Don't know if you are doing a daily diary recording how you feel, side effects and their severity but it really is a help particularly when you see the Specialists as you don't have to remember what happened in what sequence and trust me if chemo brain kicks in you'll need the diary!
Good luck, chemo will be over before you know it. Maza
