DO get a pill organizer. It'll save you time, trust me.

DON'T skip treatments. Your lungs will thank me later.

DO get emela cream. That shit works wonders when you need to get an IV put in.

DON'T move when you're getting IVs put in or a port flush. If you move, they miss, and if they miss, they take it out, and if they take it out, THEY DO IT AGAIN. Sounds fun, yes?

DO get out the stuff you distract yourself with on long car trips. Treatments can be just as long.

DON'T get picky about the taste of cough syrups. If you want the cough to stop, then choke it down.

DO get over shots. You'll get a lot worse than that, so don't start whining about pretty much one shot a year.

DON'T complain about it all the time. I'll tell you what my dad would tell me: Suck it up, buttercup!

DO decide on a favorite brand of tissue. You'll be buying a lot of them.

DON'T ever give up. Ever. Don't even consider it. It'll seem hard sometimes. But it'll get better. It has to sometime, right?

...Right.
