Hi Bill:
Welcome to OCF. Sounds like you are in the running around stages of getting prepared for treatments. Sure is alot to do at this point. If you are able to eat, try to eat all your favorite foods now. Once you begin treatment, it could be a little while before you can eat properly and food will lose its appeal. Dont worry about gaining weight, you may lose some during treatment. If you have questions jsut ask, there are so many people who will help guide you thru this journey.
