I appreciate your question, but I notice that your specific medical context (cancer type, stage, current treatments, and biomarkers) wasn't included in your message. This means I can't give you personalized preparation advice tailored to YOUR situation.

To give you the most helpful guidance, I need to know:

What type of cancer do you have? (e.g., prostate, breast, lung, etc.)
What stage is it? (localized, metastatic, etc.)
What treatment are you about to start? (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, etc.)
Have you had this treatment before, or is this your first time?
Do you have any known side effects or health conditions I should consider?

General Preparation Framework (While You Gather Your Info)

While you're collecting your medical details, here are universal preparation steps that apply to most cancer treatments:

Before Your Session

Eat a light, balanced meal 2-3 hours before (unless your doctor said to fast)
Stay hydrated — drink water throughout the day
Get adequate sleep the night before
Bring a list of current medications and supplements
Wear comfortable, loose clothing with easy access to your arms (for IV placement if needed)
Arrange transportation — don't plan to drive yourself if sedation or fatigue is possible

Bring With You

Insurance card and photo ID
List of allergies and medication reactions
Any recent lab results or imaging reports
A notebook to write down instructions
A support person if allowed

Mental/Emotional Prep

Ask your care team what to expect during the session
Discuss side effects you might experience and when to call
Know who to contact if problems arise after hours
