Having the support of others going thru treatment with you is important. I had 2 older gentlemen pals who would save me a seat every day and check up on me to make sure I was eating and not still losing weight. Those guys were the best!
We will be here when you need us so feel free to ask questions. I suggest you read and educate yourself so you can be an informed patient and advocate for yourself if you need to.
Best wishes!!!
