New here, just saying hello

HI 
I'm new to this forum and just wanted to say hi to everyone. 
I'm in the very early stages of treatment for cancer of the oesophagus which was diagnosed in June this year. I'm due to start chemo soon and after that have a major operation which I understand takes a long while to recover from. I haven't really got my head around what a massive change to me this is going to make but I am starting to try to make plans for dealing with a long period of recovery. If anyone has useful tips about what worked for them during chemo and a long recovery I would love to hear them. 

My best wishes to everyone
Geoff
