andy went thru 3 rounds of chemo..5 days a week-and was sent home with a baby each night. his major side effect that got worse with each round was extreme fatique. each round got harder, but mainly what he experienced the first round was the same in each round. he ate like a horse, actually put on 10lbs during chemo. laugh

with exercise, its a HUGE controversy here lol...i started a thread about exercise and got overwhelming responses. it really boils down to letting ken do whatever he is comfortable doing. dont push it by any means, his body will let him know what he is capable of doing. if he is sweating by doing an activity...hes doing too much. needs that energy to heal. by the third round, trips to the shower/bathroom will be his exercise. grin
