I am sorry to hear your news of the positive nodes. DARN IT!!!!! You already went thru enough. Now time to get the game plan going. Now is the time to eat as much as possible of everything you are capable of eating. I know it will be hard due to all the set backs you have had. Dont worry about gaining weight, this is the time to build yourself up and bulk up. You want to go into radiation having no regrets that you missed out on having your favorite foods.
Go to the dentist and get mouth trays made. You will want to start using the floride trays right away. Get your hearing tested cuz cisplatin can cause hearing loss. It didnt happen to me but others have had this problem. Make these appointments asap, your Oct 13th appointment isnt that far away. They could have you begin a week later. If you are ready it will help things go smoother.
Other than that, just mentally prepare for battle. I love your attitude, it will help get you thru this fight.
Best of luck with everything.
