but what really gets my husband is when they say " everyone is different"

We have given us so much literature, and a big book of recipes "Eating Well Through Cancer".
I think we are OK

Our oncology nurse navigator said to call her or email 24-7 if we need anything. This sounds like a nice service.

Just an off-note:
I've noticed that the cancer area of the hospital and the off site cancer center run by St. Francis seems to be really well-funded.
It's much fancier than the rest of the hospital.
