Made me laugh and really lifted my spirits. It was his way of saying I love you because he was out of it slightly but still managed to find me in a crowd. Gotta love him and yes, have to find as much humour from this as we can. Hey I have a question. We've been told what to expect from radiation but not what to expect from chemo. Chemo starts next wednesday and he will be in overnight. Does anyone have any advise on this? All we know is we have to go there and they will do a blood test, then do his chemo. We don't even know what kind he is having although I will be asking on the day and writting it down. I'm really worried about it as I don't know what to expect at all.
