Hi, Gayle -
It is easy to feel helpless, but think of all that you are doing, and that you are by his side. You will be better prepared for the second round of induction chemo physically and emotionally.

Fabulous news about the tumor reduction! If Jerry will be starting chemoradiation around the beginning of the year, the April 1st prediction of feeling 'pretty good' sounds doable. It's going to take longer for him to get his stamina back - but you should both be able get out and enjoy the last of the spring snow and the first signs of green. It is almost a year since my husband's diagnosis, and his treatment began mid-January. It is hard going through the winter weather to the treatments ... but then it is done, and spring will come, and it will be beautiful!
