Re: Newbie!

Welcome Mickey!
Sorry you need us, but soooo glad you found us. I think you'll find knowledge, support and even a chuckle or two!

It sounds like you are already striving to make informed decisions about your treatment.
Good for you!
Too many patients see a white lab coat and just go with whatever that doc says.
Tricia's advice is good (no surprise there!), especially about the nausea meds.
I'd just like to add... don't hesitate to pamper yourself at every turn.
There will be plenty of time to be brave and strong later!
If you need a nap... take it!
If you want a treat... eat it!
If people offer to help... let them!

I hope to see your posts often.
Best of everything to you! Please let us know how things are going.
Denise
