he carried the remote in his hand all through walmart! i'm glad my son saw it and told me about it. son asked if he needed batteries for the remote as he couldn't figure out why dad would bring the remote to walmart!

he is taking care of his own meds.

he already takes lots of depression meds. the only mood changes have been being highly controlling and argumentative like he has always been but it's been ramped up at times from his normal.

so glad others are seeing what I've been seeing. nurses and doctors got to see how controlling and uncooperative he is. son sees he cannot react properly or timely to anything and has no idea he is doing things that are odd. he just stares at things for long periods of time trying to figure them out.

thanks for telling me that your experiences have not been THIS significant. I have no idea what is normal and what isn't from chemo/radiation other than what I read here.
