support for chemo side effects

I thought I'd start a thread to help support people going through Chemo - and share ways to deal with the side effects. My worst side effect was heat, cold sweats, and insomnia - I couldn't sleep at night because of it. I started using one of these and it was a great help to me: ChiliPad (http://www.chilitechnology.com/) (it's a mattress pad that lets you cool the bed down to any temperature you set - it has a range from 46 to 118 degrees). I also went on a macrobiotic diet, which really helped with detoxing from the chemo.
