James, no thanks needed.... thats what we do! We help fellow patients and caregivers get thru probably the worst time period of their lives. I was right where you are when I first found the OCF forum about 6 years ago. I am forever indebted to this organization for helping to save my life. Once you are finished with everything I hope you will stick around and become one of our 'old timers' helping the new members.

Next week is a big week for you! Great job with gaining the 15 pounds, boy that must have been fun smile I hope you will continue to eat all your favorites (and then have seconds) over the next few weeks. You dont want to go into this with any food cravings or regrets that you didnt have your favorite thick steak or Mexican dish, etc. Thats the key to getting thru this easier, nutrition and hydration, even when it gets tough you still must push yourself to take in enough.

Never forget, we are here for you 24/7 for questions, moral support, to motivate you to keep going and we will even listen if you need to vent. Wishing you all the very best with everything you will be doing over the upcoming days.

Gear up my friend, its time to kick that cancer's butt!!!
