- Get a dentist appointment well before you start treatment. You don't want any infections sneaking in while your white blood count is out of whack. I was lucky that my dentist could fit me in for x-rays, check-up, and cleaning last week.
- Plan a wonderful evening away from it all. Fortunately, our evening with my brother and sister-in-law had been set up long before, and it was so good to be back in the real world where incredible musicians play beautiful music (check out the Imani Winds for cutting-edge wind quintet music). Not to mention the great hospitality.
- Set up massages.
All of these take care of medical, social/emotional, and physical/psychic health. Port goes in tomorrow morning, first chemo is at 8:30 Wednesday morning. Stay tuned for all the gory details.

Oh Boy----Are you having fun yet? At least they are starting fast to banish that cancer to oblivion. A-muse
Why not do all three things in your list at once by planning a romantic evening with your dentist and have him massage your gums?
The massage and dinner part sound way more fun than the dentist part. Although, really, the dentist's office provides a guilt-free zone for reading trashy magazines. So indulge in some "dessert reading" while you're at it. I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday morning. Hang in there, Lucie.
