Thank you all for all your feed back.
Christine, today Bob did feel queezy. I gave him his meds,I told him you said to stay on top of the nausea. He said, he is starting to feel better and he hasn't gottten sick so far crossing my fingers. Thank You.

Jennie, Sorry -I left out, I can finally write "on this board" again. No I am not a writer, but I am keeping a journal I call it Bobs Cancer Journey. I work in child care.

Carmen, It is great to here that you didn't get sick, there is hope.

SUEZ, Bob doesn't really want to know all the ins and outs of whats going on. I think it worries him, so that job has become mine. Don't get me wrong, I would have done it even if he wanted to know. I do work but my hours are 5am to 1pm. That has allowed me to be there for all appointments. For this I am grateful.

Question- Bob is starting to burn on his face, what are some really good meds to give, or should he not put anything on it. Also we are being treated in the VA.(So far the care has been great!The exception being the pharmacy) What are some meds you think we will need. We have to order ahead of time, other wise they want to mail them to you. I am sure the docs have thier opinion, but you all have been there on a personal basis so you know what really works.

Thank you
Deb
