Andrew, sorry that you have to come on this roller coaster ride. Please know that you are among friends here, so feel free to come back again and again to vent, ask questions or just read about others' experiences. Now is the time to eat, eat and eat. Once you start treatment, you will not be able to eat your favorite foods for a while. You will also need the extra pounds you put on now to help you through the tough treatment. Best of luck!
