DEb and Bill, my husband built a lovely picket fence[in rocky Ozark soil] during the 1st few weeks of his rad tx. and continued to eat well. Then he crashed. My advice to you is to be prepared for the next few months by arranging your days to be available for anything, to have good, easy food in the freezer for you in the event Bill can't handle normal stuff and you don't want to cook for yourself and to take anyone who offers up on their offer to run errands, cook for you, etc. Hopefully Bill will sail through this, but if he hits a snag, you need to be available and may be on call 24\7 for a while. {the Boy Scout motto applies to us girls too- Be Prepared} Amy in the Ozarks
