Update-half way point of adjuvant chemo

Hi dear all.I would like to give my semi-colon family an update about us.

Today is my husband's 6 round of adjuvant chemo,he is at the half way point,so we can start countdown now.Since the oxi created the neuropathy on my husband's fingers,the oncologist decided to skip it at round 5 and round 6 in order to let his fingers recuperate,but I believe in a certain point,he will put my husband back on the whole cocktail.So far,my husband is doing ok.On the week of chemo,he suffers some discomforts,but not terribly bad,and he can recover at the end of week(he always starts chemo either on Mon or Tue).On the week without chemo,he goes to work and I always follow him just for making sure he is ok and he is not exerting himself.Fighting against cancer and working on a job at the same time is not an easy thing,but we are doing our best to keep everything ok.

This afternoon,we also went to see the surgeon for the follow up.The surgeon says everything heals very nicely.My husband's stoma area is pushing up a little bit,I was worried if my husband is developing a hernia.The surgeon checked and says he doesn't think it is hernia,it is just the muscle pushing up a little bit after the surgery.The surgeon also says my husband really heals very nicely from the surgery and he is in good shape.

As you know,we started from being freaking out by the diagnosis,until today,we really made a big step.Thank you very much for listening.Thank you so very much for the friendship,support and prayers from all of you.I hope everybody have a happy and healthy 2010.
