Wow, Nicki, almost the end of treatment!! Yeah!! Tom will probably still pretty rough for a while, but after a few weeks you both will begin to see a light at the end of the treatment tunnel! You guys have been in my prayers and Nicki, I know what you are going thru as a caregiver. Every little ache and pain (especially around the mouth area) sends me into a tailspin and every month right before his checkups/tests, I get a bit nuts!! I am beginning to think this is my life from now on and some days it's hard to swallow. Then I realize all the cutting, pain and treatments Dan has gone thru and realize he handles it all so well.
God bless,
Debbie
