A few of my friends were recently dx with breast cancer. Among them, my BF had a lumpectomy about 6 weeks ago and now has to start chemo on Wednesday. I will be taking her to it.
(I feel I have to mention they told her now that the optimum time to start chemo is before 4 weeks post, 8 weeks is pointless). I was wondering if anyone had any tips that I could give her. I heard that ice chips cut down on nausea, help with the dehydration but.. didn't get the specifics. I heard she should be sipping plenty of water pre and after chemo. I heard a high fiber meal is best before chemo I know how to be supportive and can be the therapist/friend... but any other type of tips are welcome. |
