They just told Kevin they wanted to wait until March. Last radiation and Erbitux was 10/26&27. Funny though, Kev already had the CT. So strange how everyone is different. Not sure if it's comforting or not, huh?
Kevin said the biggest issue he's having is the dry air. The temp is -45 so one breath in and your mouth is dry. With his being dry anyway it makes it hard, then he swallows and he says it feels like sand paper. He's had to take quite a bit of pain meds today. He's not terribly tired though. Doing a lot of desk work.
Good luck this week Deb. And by the way...I find myself struggling with the what ifs too. :o(
