She will be very tired from the AC combo. To assist your sis I suggest cleaning while she rests. Do the shopping and meal making. She will not know what to eat or not to eat this first go 'round. I found that I could eat anything that sounded and tasted good. Remind her to drink lots of fluids. I found the lst treatment to be the toughest. I did 8 rounds of the dose dense ACTH, so I know how hard the AC can be. She'll be okay with your support!
