Today is my first day off in over a week so I have very much enjoyed my time today. It was Kensington's first time ever to the beach. We went to a dog beach in Huntington Beach and had so much fun.
I start chemo on Tuesday, my appointment is at 10am. This is the calm before the storm, I guess. I have had a full day of fun and relaxation. Tomorrow I have a Dr. appointment in the morning and then to Irvine for the restaurants grand opening to the public.
I start taking a steroid tomorrow that will help prevent some common side effects of the chemo. Often those that take the medicine experience insomnia... so watch out over the next three days. I may be up late at night, make sure to keep your cell phones on silent. HAHA!
I am reading The Cancer Fighting Kitchen which shares how to prepare and nourish your body before chemo. One suggestion is not to eat the foods you love three days beforehand so that you will still like them when you aren't feeling well. I have been prepping all week through nourishment so my body will be ready for what comes at me..... Stay tuned.
