I'm starting treatments on January 5, 2015. Anyone else starting treatments this month who'd like to join in to support each other in getting through these treatments? or already in treatments?

Caregivers and those who've been down the road please feel free to offer support.

I'm wondering what I can do to prepare. I am getting rads and chemo. I'm wondering about creams to support skin for the burns before they start and during, swallowing exercises and things like that. Hoping we can help each other.
