Hi Brandy,
I have tears in my eyes reading your post and the responses. I too, am a caregiver to my husband and he has just begun his TX. He ended his first wk of RT today and 2nd cysplatin on Thursday. He's okay this week and still eating solid food. I'm dreading what is to come, but trying to focus on one day at a time. If it helps at all, I've recorded some uplifting 1/2hr comedy shows, something to make me (and my husband) laugh to take my (our) mind off things for a while. I also get on the phone and call friends who I know will pep me up and keep me going. I keep hearing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and there is. Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. I will keep you and your dad and all on this site in my prayers.
Blessings,
Pamela
