Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry you have to join our circle of friends. A cancer diagnosis is a huge shock and it takes a bit of time to recover from it. Take your time and post as questions crop up and we will be here to help and support you. It may not seem so now but you will probably be glad when you are in the middle of treatment that you have gone on holiday with your family. You will find that once the doctors decide on a treatment plan, you will be so busy with all the preparation that you will have no time for anything else.
I'm sure Christine B will be by soon and advise you on nutrtrition and hydration during treatment, just rest assured that you are among friends who have been through it and understand what your journey is like.
