re: I start chemo and radiation this week

I underwent chemo and radiation for colorectal cancer after the surgery was not conclusively successful of the removal of the stage two tumor.
Take the nausea medicines on a schedule as a preventative. Do not wait to "feel" sick. I was told this advice but did not take it to heart until after the first time. It only happened once ha.
Food will taste metallic and like chemicals. For me this was more pronounced in foods that were processed or included canned products. You will need to try lots of food to find what you can stomach. In the first month i threw away half of my food before i found five or six things i could "go to" when i was hungry.
Good luck and God Bless.

Have a friend that was just dx with colon cancer, stage 2 or 3 (they don't know yet). So far no mets based on CT scans. Are mets not typical w/ this type of cancer for those that have it? Or, if no adjacent major organs have it, is there any way to tell if it has spread to the lymph nodes?
ETA Nevermind, I see SLT's post above. Prayers to you and all others dealing with this.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to ask about this today at the treatment orientation,
