hi All - havent been here for a little while - have been busy with JC and his IMRT appointments. all is going well - we are leaving week 4 behind us today. his PEG tube issues have become a thing of the past, altho home health care is coming out tomorrow to show us how to use it for feeding, as he has lost 5 lbs these past couple of weeks. yep, his taste buds have gone on vacation, so everything is tasting like "cardboard" as i have read about, so food is becoming an issue at this point in time, tho he is not having problems with eating, but with tasting!! his spirits are up, but the fatigue is slowly creeping up on him. his sleeping hours are getting completely turned around - but i figure that by the time this is over and done with they will have come around again (i hope). dont really have any questions right now, just an update on how JC is doing - tho i figure that i will be full of questions here shortly when the radiation really kicks in -
thanx for being here....
