[quote=Anonymous]I had chemo last year--most important was an iPod, and a gaming device. I didn't feel much like reading--after a while chemo brain kicked in so I couldn't do crossword puzzles or anything that required much cognition. Jolly ranchers are good to relieve a metallic taste in the mouth. The best thing my friends did was chip in to hire a cleaning service to come every other week for three months. They also made up a rotation system to bring us meals. I couldn't eat much, but he needed to eat. They also came by and walked our dog regularly. You might volunteer to drive your friend to the chemo apptointments. There was one day per cycle where I felt the worst, and like I was going to die, so my friend came over and teleworked from our house, as my husband had to go to work. I will never forget how much everyone helped us--it means the world to me. [/quote]
