Thanks everyone, well its Monday and week 4 about to start.I tell dad we are on the home stretch now, so we just have to try to see the finish line. Its all very well me saying these things to him but he is the one who has to look through all his pain.
He has been a very fit healthy man his whole life, working as a supervisor in High Rise construction as a site foreman,never has a sick day in 36 years.sounds unbelievable but true.He has just not long retired 3 years ago and has still led a very active retirement.So I think it is dificult for him to understand taking all this in.I know the drs all said there was POSSIBLE side effects and I suppose we put our heads in the sand thinking he would be ok through it all.Well not so its very hard for him and by looking at this forum,I think things are just starting.It is good to know what is going to happen though as we can prepare a bit or at least know that what he is going through is normal (whatever the word normal means at this point) and that people do come out the other side of treatment and beat this horrid thing.Hopefully we will chat with the drs today and let them know what has been happening.He does not have a PEG but I think maybe we should have asked, can he get one now or is it too late?
Thanks for the info everyone.
