Thanks for your reply, Nicki. Sounds like we are in very similar boats, with mine several weeks behind yours. Ken's objection, too, is that he wants to come home at night to sleep in his own bed. Since his chemo will be done entirely in-hospital, with traveling occuring just during the radiation-only weeks, it may be manageable. We will just have to wait and see. I have family (out of state) who have offered to come stay to help out. Unfortunately, my father is ill right now, and I can't call on them, because they have to be there to help him and my mother. My son is a senior in high school, and fairly self-sufficient, and that helps, but I am starting to worry about the logistics of all this. I think I need to take it a day at a time. Thinking too far ahead will just drive me nuts!
