Thanks for these tips Pj. I like how the old ones are still there in one handy place. Another reason the doctor restricts driving after surgery is that the anesthesia can linger longer than we realize and slow our reaction times.

Great advice

Great advice... succinct, clear and to the point. We may not be able to avoid the nasty treatments associated with BC, but we can make them more livable and more human by sharing our knowledge. Thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge and most of all, your heart.

Pj, as you know I have gone through my first treatment, and still doing good, but on tip that had really helped so far is the ice-chips. Not just during chemo, but in the evening when I get a little nausiated, becuase I forget to eat the ice really has helped my mouth and my stomach. Great advise!! Thank you, for just always being there.
