He's much, much better 24 hrs after getting IV hydration. I'm not sure if it was the chemo or radiation that weakened him so I don't want to color your upcoming decision about chemo #2. He wants #3 next week if they will offer it to him (depends on his labs and status). Both MDs seem to feel 2 rounds are enough given his good response to treatment. We'll see what happens. I think we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel so I hope you will soon follow on the road to recovery! Peace and all good things, Janet
