The 3rd round of chemo is done with very few side effects. Slight fatigue and nausea. Paul also has a sore mouth but not enough that he wants to take anything for it. Food doesn't taste the same. All in all, chemo has gone much better so far than we anticipated.

Today was the simulation for radiation. Radiation is scheduled for December 3 and chemo treatment will be reduced to Cisplatin only. Praying our good luck continues!
