His last radiation is tomorrow. 11-11-11 at 11 on Veterans day! Since his service in Vietnam may have contributed to this is it fitting and great karma!. Losing track of time so I appreciate this forum to look back and keep myself straight. It has been rough this week with Tuesday in the DRC at Moffitt to get fluids. They found that a fentenol disovable tablet helped him to the point he drank 2 glasses of water! Yeah! Yesterday was a pharmacy nightmare getting authorizations and a pharmacy that actually carried it. Finally got it today and still not enough fluids and food but still forward moving with 3 full 12 oz glasses of water and a bowl of butter laden oatmeal. Chemo this week has been canceled twice now and they are going to postpone for a couple of weeks to get his wbc count up. Right now we are at 11.5 . Other than that battling with the heavy mucus so any pointers on that would be helpful. I think tomorrow will be a great page turner knowing he won't have any more treatments. He will have a full day of the new meds and we can relax together all weekend. Thanks as always for helping us on this journey!
