The last couple of weeks in Tx and a few weeks post Tx is the worst. Five weeks total and he should be out of the woods. I was sick a lot too, just like him, but I have too much to live for and I was determined that I wouldn't let the treatment kill me. I didn't even have a PEG.
Let him know that we have been in his shoes and we are all pulling for him.
