hi.
it is best that you're in optimum health (mind and body) prior to your chemotherapy. i suggest you consult with a clinical nutrition to help maximize your diet and nutritional needs, also to help you prepare during and after chemo, if the side-effects of the chemo drugs would ensue. a moderate exercise/ walking would also help you keep in shape. for some people, a psychiatric/psychologic consult will also be of great help to emotionally prepare you for the situation.
hope this helps.
good day!!
