Welcome to OCF. I would suggest you read both the forum and main pages to educate yourself. We will help you thru whatever treatment plan your doctors come up with.

My advice is to eat all your favorite foods now and then have seconds. Dont worry about gaining weight you will likely lose some with whatever treatment you have done. Anyone who offers their assistance to you tell them when the time comes you will let them know what they can do to help. Even small things like running the vacuum or taking out the trash is a help when you are feeling lousy. You will want to line up several helpers to provide transportation, help with housework, etc. Always take an extra set of ears to your doctor appointments and take notes.

Best wishes!!!
