Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry you have to join our circle of friends and that you had to get through such a stressful time getting diagnosed.

Cougardad is right. Learn all that you can about the treatments so that you are prepared. You can go to the OCF main site. There are all kinds of good, vetted information on it. Dr. Google, I'm afraid, does not always give reliable information.

Whatever your treatment is going to be, I would suggest you spend the time now eating all your favorite food as it may be a while before you can enjoy them once treatments starts. It sounds like you have a very supportive family and that's a wonderful thing. They may also want to check out this forum and the OCF site so that they are comfortable with the help they are providing you.

I will leave it to ChristineB to tell you about nutrition and hydration. These are extremely important, so make sure you read her posts.

Please keep us posted.
