Honestly I did not even think to ask what what immunotherapy or or chemo regime I’ll be on , will for sure add it to my list of questions.
One thing i’m wondering now is what kinds of protein did anyone have on hand after the infusion? Protein bars? What are something that worked best ? How prepared should I be?

@lynnj3 - I think I was told to try to have between 50-75% of my body weight in protein a day - so I started each morning with a very high protein shake. I'd use a high protein milk (Fairlife) with plain greek yogurt, I'd add a protein powder to the drink and frozen banana, or berries and would get probably close to 30-45 grams of protein in that meal alone - so the rest of the day I just tried to eat other things that were also high in protein. I did keep on hand high protein snack bars. My numbers stayed really good (except one weekend when we went away and my numbers weren't high enough for treatment); but otherwise I was able to do my treatments. I also researched vegetables and other foods that were high in protein. I did a fair amount of organic chicken, and quinoa (which I had never tried and found some pretty good recipes to do in the instant pot).
