My husband stge 4 rare cancer post 3 surgeries, 3/23 glands, all can. removed, just finished 1st chemo, he got so sick, worst flu x's 10 he said. just turned 42 2-20, 148 lbs. lost 10 of it after chemo. not convinced he can do another. ex. logger, can take alot of pain, I'm caught up too, everyone says to do the chemo., you live longer. He's come so far, I know God is with him, he had some near misses. Still quite strong.
Drives himself to all appts. Daily complications, fatigue, not always, no appetite at times, explosive diarrhea, otherwise, he is okay. On Day 5 massive cramps, possible flu bug as I am also feeling a flu bug the day after his attacks. Everyone we met at the onco. said oh yes, do it, they all now look forward to their treatments, some were told they had only a year and four years later, and so on. Everyone is full of such compassion and love. We have to go on, the stakes are too high not to. If I can just convince him. They're all news great drugs every day being brought to market. Never give up hope. God bless...keep in touch my email lmjohnson@gci.net0
