hello all. just wanted to give an update on andy. he is 3 months post treatment now.
he is doing fairly well although things are not as i had imagined they would be. guess its that "new normal" thing happening.
he has gone back to work. that takes ALL his energy...has nothing else left. he is on thyroid medication. still has extremely dry mouth. eating is very challenging, everything is dry. water bottles are a permenant fixure everywhere we go. he has not gained back any weight, as a matter of fact-he has lost a little more. i make him drink the supplements still even though he fights me every step of the way.
he is always so tired and fatigued. seems endless.
he is off all pain meds.
he still goes up to MO office and sits with other patients while they do their chemo--takes naps right along side of them lol. he says its his way of giving back.
i have learned to take time for myself. i never did during his treatment.
taking one day at a time....
