Hello All--
This is old, but there's always some one new looking for advice. I would say all of the above are great suggestions about moving to the "at home" world.

I wanted to comment on something mausmish said about her concentration. I don't think there is enough discussion with patients about this. For some people (both my daughter & I have been through chemo) chemo just blows your concentration abilities for awhile....months sometimes. I was a voracious reader who thought I would spend my chemo time reading....couldn't get through a newspaper article.

My daughter post-BMT had difficulties going to college until she came to terms with some if this. It does improve, but I just think it's important to know that even as your body slowly recovers, your mind may also need recovery time. Don't be discouraged if at first you feel mentally mushy!
