Hi James,
I'm a newbie to this forum but there are some great folks and good information here.
Hydration, nutrition and pain management are the keys to getting through the treatment. It's brutal but you'll survive it. I'm two weeks post and just starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
Glad to see you're at a comprehensive cancer center. Having a team of doctors, nurses and specialists all working together to cure you instills confidence and that as well as a positive attitude is more than half the battle.
Best wishes to you as you begin the battle.Kick cancer's tush ya hear!
Positive thoughts and prayers
