Hello Andy
Welcome to the forum.
I know this is a scarey time for you, we have been where you are. We can help with all the little things that the Doc`s just forget to tell you .
eg. bulk up now while you can eat, you will lose weight and you need any reserves you might have.
Make sure they use amifostine, it helps save the function in your salivary glands, a BIG quality of life issue.
As Joanna advised, spend time researching the site, the information you will find is invaluable.
We found our way here part way through the treatment and I really wish we had known then what we know now!
Post any questions you have Andy, someone here will have the answer you need.
I know there are a few postings of questions to ask your Doctor, very helpful.
Most important , take someone with you to all appointments , there is no way you can take everything in. I taped most of our Drs Appointments and was amazed when I played them back. I had forgotten so much that was said . Maybe that was just me!!
Let us know how you are doing, email if we can be of any help. As you can see we live in Atlanta, Lawrenceville actually.
Take Care
