Mine was two days after Christmas last year; had a treatment on Christmas Eve and another the day after Christmas, so couldn't travel for the holiday. But, friends invited me to spend the day with them, great food, but I couldn't eat any of it, had to do my bottles of Ensure instead.
Now that I'm several months post treatment I've been through the worst of it. With any luck at all yours won't be too bad.
Hang in there, it gets better, it will just take awhile
