[quote=Anonymous]You can do it! I won't lie--it will suck, but you will be done eventually and will feel better again.  Think of something in the future you can plan for that will give you something to look forward to.

If you are a woman, this workshop made me feel so much better about myself, and I got a lot of free make up!:

Not everyone loses their hair (your doctor should be able to tell you if that will happen with the meds you will have) so decide now if you want to wear wigs, hats, or scarves or a combo. I ordered some wigs but sent them back and just wore hats.  This is a great place to order from: http://www.tlcdirect.org/default.aspx?crcat=branding~acs-wigs&crsource=adwords&crkw=%2Bcancer%20%2Bsociety%20%2Bwigs&crcampaign=12135330514&gclid=COH9v4i35LkCFcqZ4AodY18A8Q

My wonderful friends hired a cleaner to come clean our house every other week because I wasn't up to it and my husband was busy taking care of everything else, plus the three pets.

Don't be afraid to ask friends for help--to bring over meals, walk a dog, bring you magazines, etc.

You won't know until you get into it what your stomach will want to eat, so don't stock up on a bunch of food yet. 
Some chemo meds can give you a metallic taste so you may want to stock up on hard candy.

Stay away from Doctor Google! The message boards can be a support, but haring about recessions won't be helpful.

Good luck! If you think of any other questions, post them![/quote]
