Hello to all of you in this extremely inspirational group. 

My Husband will begin  Chemo and Radiation tomorrow morning.

I have found help and courage from all of you within this forum.

We are fighting this "stuff" and your insight is priceless to me.

    Thank you Matt

    I really appreciate the welcome. My husband just received his first

    chemo 6.5 hours and radiation 30 minutes today. I am very proud of 

    him and want to do the best possible care and support for him during

    this difficult process.

    Welcome to the club no one

    Welcome to the club no one really wants to join :)  But we are so glad

    you are here.  My husband was diagnosed in January and will be done in three days. It's a tough road but the end results are what keeps you moving forward. There are so many people here that are full of knowledge and wonderful advice and caring words. The first treatment is always an emotional one. But he got through it and on to day two. My small words of advice that everyone told me. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.  It really is imper that your husband keeps up with the fluids.  Eat and swallow while he can as well. Swallowing is also very important. Prayers for you both. It's a journey for both of you but it's possible. Remember you can and Are doing it!
