Hello All
I am in the process of starting treatment for throat cancer. Doctors say I might need Chemo, radiation and surgery. I am concerned about strength and weight loss since I have to walk everywhere. No support from friends or family. What is the average amount of weight loss and how can keep weight and strength?
Thank you
Keith S.

You’ve started along the road. That takes some guts. Don’t give up. Lean on us all here. Once all the prelims are done it’s best foot forward.
