It's nice to know the chemo is working by seeing the tumor shrink, especially since today the side effects have kicked in big time. He has been unable to do anything except sleep since yesterday afternoon when he got home from the hospital. Nausea is ever-present but under control. No appetite, but he managed to eat a bowl of cereal and some peaches; his liquid intake is good, though. Mouth sores are starting to appear, too, so he uses the mouth rinse a lot. Does the extreme fatigue last long? He doesn't go in for another round of chemo for three weeks; I hope the effects of this round subside a bit before then.
