Hi Laurie

Welcome to OCF. Glad you took the time to read the 'draft copy'. Its an amazing piece of work that really digs deep into all the questions and helps give direction. That can be so helpful in a time when you dont know which way to turn. We are here to support you and of course yoru husband. Please feel free to ask questions.

Please have your husband do everything he wants now, which includes eating. As you have read, its a very long difficult road he will travel. Dont let cancer steal his time or energy away from him now. Eat like crazy and enjoy life to the fullest, things will change in a few weeks, so for now live it up.

Best of luck to you both on your journey.
