Big Dan!!

Welcome to OCF buddy, glad you found us, sorry you had to!

Well you probably won't like my answer at all because I'll sound like every Dr you've been in contact with...but treatment (tx) affects everyone differently. Many of us hit a wall around week 4 and then it get's the worst the weeks after treatment. There are others that fly through treatment like nothing even happened (those lucky bastards!) and don't miss a beat really.

I think if I were to plan it I would just make sure I kept really hydrated, keep nutrition up by sucking down as many calories as you can and hope for the best. It's all you can do really. I think everyone will understand if you get held up, if they don't let me call them for you and I'll let them know what insensative dicks they are smile

Anyway buddy, sorry it's not much help but keep your chin up and keep the good attitude.
