Chemo: Preparing for the unknown

When we got home from visiting the Mayo Clinic, I started to panic. Chemo was going to start in the morning, and we hadn't even had a chance to prepare for it.

We had loads of papers to read about side effects and risks, we needed to pay attention to what Jason would eat that night and morning, and figure out what he should even wear for the first treatment.

I don't know if anyone ever feels ready for chemo to start, but I felt very unprepared.

The doctors weren't able to help us very much either as far as what to expect for the chemo day...so we did our best and stuck to bland food and comfortable clothes.
