I wouldnt fool around with this, maybe a trip to the ER to get checked out. Im always cautious about things like this. Its better to go and get checked to make sure everything is ok instead of waiting it out and it is a big problem. Plus, peace of mind is a good feeling!
Your husband is at the point where treatments are beginning to get difficult. Unfortunately they will continue to get harder as the treatments continue. Its a rough road but it is doable! We will help you as much as possible to get thru this.
As a caregiver, dont forget about your own needs. Try to make some time for yourself.
