How much should I eat before taking my chemo pill?

My name is Susan and I am due to have targeted radiation in combination with a chemo pill to be taken twice a day 1/2 hour after eating 12 hours a part. My question, not being someone who has eaten breakfast in decades, is how much do I need to eat? Will be starting on Tuesday- I am very nervous and so emotional since I received my diagnosis. Stage 2 A colon cancer with tumor close to sphincter So many people supportive but none of them have dealt with cancer Thank you for any helpful advice

How do others handle pT4a with visceral peritoneum metastasis?

Hi there, everyone! I’m newly-diagnosed and have gone through a colectomy surgery of the splenic flexure in August, then had my first round of FOLFOX chemo this week. I am so happy to be here amongst friends that are having the same experiences as myself! My diagnosis is pT4a with metastasis to the visceral peritoneum. I have no obvious metastasis to any other organs in my body at this time. I’m wondering if anyone else here has had the same diagnosis and, if so, what has your experience been like?
