Ok we are in home stretch...supposed to have his last chemo this past week - held because of low counts we are having GT placed tomorrow - he has surrendered to idea as only sips for last 4 wks, and still have a healthy week of RT and then of course the recovery phase. We will try again chemo tues after holiday . I feel like I need to cut and paste on several topics as feel probs in every area and the inability to help is crushing me. Will he be able to shower with this, I'm pretty sure he can...and looks like this option the best as we are prob looking at at lease 6-8 wks I'm guessing nutritional support....? Excess secretions... Nothing to do about this I suppose...? Not thick and he didn't like the sx machine idea. It's broken my heart to have him have had lost so much wgt and muscle when he was such an athletic strong build before.the docs told him it will help him bounce back faster and he is wanting to and trying very hard.... I know it's crushing him as not the type of person to want to be fussed over or require or want any help in past... So hard to love someone so very much and unable to help with what feels like should be on such basic levels....also no voice which frustrated the hell out of him. And if we don't get it the first time he's too frustrated to retry ... Feel like we are falling apart and the end is so close
