OP "OCF Down Under" Supporting Member (50+ posts) Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 60 | Thanks for reading guys. He felt like dirt over the weekend after the PEG went in and looked like he'd aged 20 years. I suppose he would have bounced back (to a degree) but he is right into radiation and chemo. Started radiation yesterday and got the call to check into the hospital in preparation for the first round of chemo immediately afterward. The plan has changed and instead of having weekly cisplatin he is going to have 3 cycles of it. I knew this was coming within the next couple of days but I don't guess one is ever really ready.
11 years ago yesterday I was checked into that same hospital in preparation to be induced for labour with our firstborn. Fast forward 11 years and he is being checked in in preparation for chemo. Its a good thing we don't know what the future has in store for us.
