    Isign4Him,

    Good luck, you sound ready, I hope your ride is smooth and as trouble free (as possible). You are going to meet some great people, don’t be afraid to ask any question you might have. Keep them apprised of all side effects (they have something for just about everything). Now rest up and eat another cheeseburger, sooner than later.

    Best,

    Matt

    Game On!
    The bell has rung, and Kevin has come out swinging! Wonderful. You know from reading posts here two things:
    1 - Treatment is nobody's idea of a good time -
    2 - You CAN do this

    I'm with the others - loving your attitude and the fact that you've got great teammates.

    Do well

    Bag Lunch...
    One step closer to finishing treatment....

    Take a lunch with you... I was starving come lunch time my first big chemo day...

    All of the "regulars" brought lunches with them or had some one bring them one in.

    Oh, and sit close to a bath room..once they start feeding you lasix....well, let's just say they nicknamed me the PeeKing that day.

    Best,

    Go get 'em!
    Kevin,

    You are so ready, great to hear your enthusiasm. That's what it takes to beat cancer.

    We are with John, take food.. lots of food, we take sandwiches, go-gurts, crackers Dan likes, snack foods, and entire grocery bag full, and come home with barely the bottom covered. You'd think he'd gain more weight, but doesn't.

    Go get 'em!

    Kevin,
    Your positive attitude is refreshing. I agree with the others. Eat what you love now and lots of it. There will be a lot of time where food just won't be very appealing.

    A sense of humor is part of the cure. Also a part of this site. Keep the attitude pal and it will get you through this.
    All the best
