That SUCK SUCK SUCKS SUCKS.
That being said, I HIGHLY suggest you remove all simple carbs from your diet and start implementing fasting ASAP.
Glucose feeds cancer. Fasting longer than 72 hours helps your body break down unused proteins AKA cancer via autophagy.
The more of a meat only diet you can consume the better you'll be (CRAZY but true).
Also fasting prior to chemo massively reduces it's negative effects.
Trust me on this, with the wife's leukemia we've made massive strides following these protocols and her Dr is like you're reversing her leukemia.

Myself I've lost over 100lbs with a meat primary diet with very little veggies, no fruit, no sugar, no bread etc. My health markers are in the excellent range for everything and my Dr. is completely impressed. Wife cured her T2 diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid and fatty liver.

I agree with Mike. From my own personal experience with health and extreme pushing of my body athletically (monitored from my doctor) all of my markers move into better ranges with a primary meat diet. Jordan Peterson and his daughter also have chronicled this in numerous pod casts which lead to try it.
I am sorry to hear this man. I will say that the company I work for makes software for companies that do genomic testing on cancers. Long story short is that if your oncologists haven't done so already, you might want to check with them to see if they considered doing genomics testing on the tumor/s and cancer cells that are afflicting you. The benefits of genomics testing are that it pin-points the correct course of treatment that is currently available and known to be successful to that specific cancer based on its genetic profile. Either way, I am saying a prayer for you and our family and know you will pull through.
UPDATE.
Hey everyone,
Had a good appointment at the oncologist today. They had my tumor test and found that it will take chemo well and shrink the tumors. Also my body is doing well to chemo so far. I'm starting to eat more, thankfully. I lost 20lbs during my hell week in the hospital the other week. I'll get into that another time. I have an EKO scheduled for Thursday morning to make sure my heart is good. Oncologist wants to add another chemo drug to help shrink the tumor faster. So that's it for now. Thanks for all the prayers and support, it means alot to Kris and I.

Hell ya!! All good things! And you were looking a little chubby in October so your probably back to your 18 year old self 
This past Monday they added a 3rd chemo drug to the mix. I had a reaction to it. I got cold and the shakes real bad, like someone flipped a switch. The nurses and doctor took care of this issues almost immediately. I was scared bigtime when this happened. Doctor told me that sometimes this happens and they would get me thru it, and they did. Rest of the treatment went as normal for the day, and got my pump hooked up for the next 2 days. Wednesday afternoon they removed the portable chemo pump and I went home. Then I didn't feel good and was nausea the rest of the night. Thankfully they gave me awesome nausea pills. Thanksgiving morning I felt fine, so hopefully next treatment won't be as bad. I'm definitely able to eat alot better than weeks ago. I actually was again to eat a small portion of Thanksgiving dinner Kris made. Just that little dinner made me feel alot better.
Forgot to mention, doctor thinks maybe in mid or late Dec, I can have this stent in my esophagus removed. That would be a big deal. That's it guys.

Sounds like things are moving in a positive direction which is awesome! One day at a time! I am glad you were able to partake in Thanksgiving dinner, that super important. Keep up the battle buddy!
Finished up round 3 of chemotherapy today. Had my chemo pump removed, I have to wear it for 2 days. Yes it sucks, can't do much with it hang around my neck. Also got a surprise email today. I had wrote my story about my cancer on the Washington football team page. Well I was surprised that I actually got a response from Coach Rivera. Yes it's actually from him, saw the email address. I cried some, because he actually took the time to email me.
So overall Im doing ok, eating pretty much normal food now. Stent removal is on hold till this Covid crap calms down. Also the cold sensitive finally hit me, yeah that totally sucks. So I keep pushing ahead.

Hang in there man, every day is a new day!
Super cool that coach rivera reached out to you. I've heard from friends that lived in panther land that he is a genuinely super nice guy. Also super sorry to hear that you're a redskins fan, that must be tough the last 20 years or so (even tho they just beat my steelers).
