Wow, Lady Joe, it seems like everytime I check in on one of your posts, seems keep getting better and better. I'm so encouraged by your latest post.

We're in week 5, and it is hard. Dan took a dip emotionally over the weekend, but his medical team boosted him up on Monday and he is doing much better now on that front.

Although, now he is battling thrush and getting his pain meds right is hard as his pain seems to be a moving target.

Your posts show me there is definitely a glimmer of light at the end of this tunnel. Kielbasa? Sourkraut, Horseradish? You mean there is a life after soft noodles and protein drinks? That is a great thing to know!

I'm glad your hubby is doing well. I hope you keep posting, it really helps me see beyond the day to day of this horrible treatment process.
