Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Lots of good karma your way, friend.
Chemo sucks. It will probably make him cranky, irritable, and tired.
It can be hard to consume enough calories due to the nausea. Juices help a lot, but not too much orange juice because it’s pretty acidic.
Avocado and eggs pack a great nutrient and calorie punch.
And make sure to take time for yourself. Schedule it so that you get your space and your time before you reach your own breaking point. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, so conserve your emotional energy as a precious resource. For your own sake but also for his.
Probably he’s going to be an insufferable mix of irritated, tired, nauseas, and generally sick of that shit and unpleasant to be around so mentally prepare yourself for that and plan accordingly.
Good luck, friend. Much love to you and your asshole father.
