For me the 2-3 weeks after treatment ended were all about sleep. I walked the dog a few blocks every day (in winter) and tried to get at least two hours of work in at my home office and that was about as active as I could get. It was after about three weeks when I noticed the first positive changes (less pain, more food options). After that is was a slow climb up what felt like a very steep hill.

Looking back it was only a few months ago and the time passed quickly, but at the time, every day seamed to last an eternity.

I do think Dave will recover well enough for the two of you to enjoy this summer. He should be turning a corner here fairly soon. The changes will be very subtle at first so try and remember the patience that has gotten you this far.
