I've been through all the test. I start chemo (pills) and radiation on July 2 2018. Feeling scared. 

Bills are coming in now. I will focus on getting better. The next 6 weeks will be tough. I visit this 

site almost everyday. The advice means a lot to me. Thank you. 

I will update as I go along this journey.

    Diet

    The first few weeks I lived on bone broth, protein drinks, God Bless our friends who brought food!  My full time job was eating.  I ate what ever I was hungry for.  I tried to walk 30 minutes a day until I just couldn't because of the radiation treatments, my skin was just too irritated also I wore boxer shorts or none, liked them so much I still do!
