Hi Dave, this disease can certainly turn your life upside down quickly, can't it? This is not a club anyone wants to join, but welcome nonetheless. It sounds like so far you're doing well with it all. having lots of supportive family and friends is certainly a huge help. As Marica said, drink lots of fluids and eat as much as you can for as long as you can. I hope the rest of your treatment goes equally smoothly for you.
