Kevin ~ I want to start off with saying what a WONDERFUL positive influence you must be for her.

I had DD A/C and I was very athletic active woman with 3 small kids and it threw me for a loop too. Walking helps the day after treatment, lots and lots of water but also popsicles during infusion to help with the mouth sores later, don't eat favorite foods the day of A/C...I still can't have chicken salad 3 years later! I was offered pot by everyone out of the sky...professors, teachers, a friends grandmother...she said she could get some she knew from her "Bug Man"...he just looked like it :-) but I talked to my Onc. about it first. He was not against it for most chemo's however he said that on A/C he doesn't think it is a good idea because so many patients end up with thrush if they do it. Mouth sores are bad enough without adding a huge yeast infection. So I didn't do it but certainly made sure to rest, take my nausea meds and keep a clean mouth. Our local pharmacy had something called "Magic mouth wash" to help with the mouth sores that lots of people used.

A/C is cummulative so it will be a rough road ahead. I wish you both all the best and if I can help in anyway I would be more than happy to.
