Shaz, welcome to OCF. You will find lots of help and support to assist your brother with his OC. When you are able, please help us to help you by adding some info to your signature. Its located in your profile.

Since your brother is due to start his treatments soon, one thing he may want to do now is eat like crazy. Once the treatments start, his taste and eating will change and become a challenge. Feel free to ask lots of questions. Dont forget to take a notepad on Monday to write things down.
