Jen,

If you feel like eating by all means eat all you can whenever you can. Unfortunately, if you pack too many snacks, your husband may gain all the weight you lose! I think it is called the distributive principle of cancer treatment! eek

You will be your guide but all you can eat will only benefit you. Keep hydrated and you will do fine.

When I had chemo, the actually had a library of videos to check out. I watched the news channel and spent most of the time on the phone with work until the latter part of treatment. Don't ask about how the Cisplatin or 5FU affected me and I won't have to lie.
