Preparing for chemo

Today I did some prep for chemo. I have been warned that I will be very susceptible to infections so I ended up buying 5 bottles of hand sanitizer so I can put them in different rooms of the house. I have also gone out and purchased a baseball cap as it was impossible to buy a beanie hat anywhere! I know its not winter but its not like its summer at the moment. Baseball caps really don't suit me though, but at least it will keep the sun out of the eyes when it does bloody come back out : ).
I have been also advised by the nurses that I should try to avoid going to cinema during the chemo period as in closed environments I could easily catch an infection. So I ended up going to see the last film in the cinema for a while... The Dictator. I was so disappointed by the film and I wish I went to see Promethius instead. Oh well, will just have to wait until the DVD is out. The trailer of Spiderman looked amazing, I might just have to risk it and go and see it when it comes out.
I also ended up buying some ice lollies as apparently the first thing I will get is mouth ulcers so the ice lollies should help. Cant believe I will be using ice lollies for medicinal purposes, that's a right result.
Started cleaning the house, bleaching, dusting, hoover etc to try and make it as clean as possible. The biggest sacrifice will be not being able to get kisses from the puppies though. That only means that they get extra cuddles.
Throughout the last few weeks I have also had the pleasure of eating at all my favourite places and my favourite foods: Nando's, PizzaHut, Dominos, Subway, Harvester, KFC, Burger King, Kebab, an amazing Roast dinner cooked by couple of my best friends Mike and Hailey, Peppercorn chicken and had a few BBQs. I have been told that my taste for food will change so I made the most of eating all my favourite food in case I stop enjoying any of them.

It's really important to know what to expect during and after chemotherapy so you can prepare yourself for it. I think I am well prepared for it, but I am sure I've missed a few bits out. I think I've got most important things to me covered though : D.

Bring on tomorrow for the hair cut.
