Bon Voyage, I like it. Okay so the chemo might make you a little sea sick. Just remember to get all the right antinausea medicine. Also, make sure you have the chemo nurses phone numbers. I remember that it was helpful to call them when I got home and had questions about how I was doing. I believe in drugs....I took ativan before chemo and took and antidepressent for the 4-5 months I was on chemo...maybe I took it longer. Can't remember. I was scared too. We are hear for you. If you are up in the middle of the night and can not sleep, post a little note. It can be a tough march with your head down, but just remember one day at a time. Try to walk a little every day, if it is even just around the inside of your house. We are behind you and want to help support you.
All the best, Catherine
