Thanks all for the responses!! It means a lot to me to hear from people who have been there/done that.

Here's what I do understand...cumulatively, the radiation and chemo continues to do there thing post treatment for a couple of weeks. And, that just sucks because when you think you should start to feel better you are actually feeling worse.

But, isn't there some benefit to not hauling your weary body to and from the hospital every day? It takes us anywhere from 3-4 hours to get to/fr the hospital and get treatment on a non-chemo day. So, I was kind of hoping the pile on of icky symptoms post treament would be offset by taking away the stress of going to the hospital daily. And, I was hoping that mentally/emotionally that would give him a boost.

Am I completley off base?

Markus, sorry to hear you are feeling worse now than before...If I am remembering a previous post of yours correctly, didn't you golf 27 holes right after treatment? For the record, I put you in my book as super human after I read that. I hope you are able to golf again soon!

Anne Marie and LadyJoe...thanks for the support, you two are very encouraging and helpful to me I always enjoy reading your posts. LJ, I hope things continue to improve and I was happy to hear your hubby will be able to start work again soon!

Gary, Robroaster, David...It's really helpful to get that patient perspective. I'm watching my husband go through this and yet I don't think I have a fraction of a clue as to how much discomfort he is in.

Thank you everyone!
