15 hours a day is good. Liquids up, food doesn't need to be high, but needs to be the right type (vitamin packed, fruit, veg, protein, I'm sure MSP can give you better advice on food intake than me). From what I've heard from my Uncle (who's done about 12 courses of the most powerful chemo possible this year for Leukemia) feeling like a truck ran you over is actually probably a good thing: you can feel and you're aware of it. They won't consider you in remission until both white and red count come up to acceptable levels, and that could actually takes a number of months after chemo is done.

msp prepares every one of my meals and makes me drink 2-3 litres of water a day she's a blessing to have around
She even saves me from drowning in my soup and tucks me into bed
I have a long way to go to remission yet but I can make it

At that point I think you would just need a mini life preserver to go on the top of your bowl

Do it like me : have your soup in a mug with a straw ! That way, even if you fall asleep, you won't drown (but you'll spill it all over the table).
It doesn't work for breakfast cereals though...
Or, one of these
clever items. We should make some AT-branded ones !

good suggestion Zukero biggest problem with that is Id end up wearing the soup.. I've worn in total 5cups of coffee and 3 cups of tea and several cokes since I started my treatment I've even fallen asleep leaning against the wall
msp is going to buy me a kids sippy cup lol a A.T brand would be perfect we should make baby bibs to match
I could use one of those as well lol

Now if you attach some string to the sides you can just let it dangle around your neck. No more spilling, problem solved
Happy sipping
