Hi Brenda,

You'll feel much better after tomorrow is behind you. If you really do get a chemo drug tomorrow, ask which one it is. Have them write it down for you. If it is chemo, ask your oncologist or the nurses if they have a handout you can take home. It tells you what to watch out for. Call your doctor if you have any of the symptoms you are to watch for. One is a high fever. I had 8 rounds of chemo and never got a high fever.....and most people DO NOT. My point is that as a precaution you know what to look for when you get home and you know who and where to call. I only had to call once in 16 weeks. I was so sore from Taxol that they gave me a steroid over the phone on a Friday night. I am so glad your husband is going with you. Support and another pair of ears is very important. Drink lots of water. Have a variety of snacks on hand in case you get sick from chemo. I liked chocolate boost, jello and popsicles.

All the best, we are all on your side, Catherine
