Steve, hope you are able to eat well now- please eat as much good stuff as you can to bulk up a little. Do you hae a support system in place,in case you need help over the next few months? It will be hard for you to do this alone. Are you keeping some kind of notebook where you can write questions to ask Docs or nurses, etc. when you think of them-also write down their answers- people here will prop you up as need be, so stay with us. Best luck. Amy
