    Radiation combined with chemo is a tough regimen, but it's doable and, IMO, worth it, so hang in there. That was when I first started taking narcotic pain meds. Please keep your doctors informed of what's going on. They should have someone on call 24-7, so make use of the service. I did, and a couple times it saved my bacon.

    Hang in there. We're all thinking of you and pulling for you.

    Thank you all
    For your kind thoughts and prayers, it has been one heck of a day, Mark was so sick, he basically couldn't keep anything down and became very dehydrated, his blood pressure soared and it really has knocked the stuffing out of him, now he is on more medication than I can count have made lists as to when and what to take, I will now control tablets, as he really is not quite with it, still not sure if this radiation will be worth it I guess only time will tell, he is still keen to proceed so will back him as always. Again thank you all I was so scared this morning, I really thought, well, some horrible thoughts.
    Thank you all again I don't know how I would cope without you.
