Welcome to the group. You have found a safe place with answers and advice. You have a short window to focus on before the battle begins. Use the time wisely and focus on you first. Nutrition, hydration and exercise are key. You are training to fight and your family is trying to cope with the unknowns. I struggled with why do I have to be strong for others when I am the one going through the trial. Be resolved your family friends etc. need to know you are resolved to fight through. That will give them security. Ironic but true. Be strong and use your energies wisely. Visit often and ask questions frequently.
