Jimbo, welcome to OCF. You will find lots of info here to help guide you thru your treatments. Now is the time to line up people to help you while going thru rad/chemo. You may need help with transportation, meds, daily living tasks. If you can enjoy eating, now is the time to fill up. Dont worry about gaining a few pounds, you may lose some during treatment. Best of luck with everything.
