I want you to know that it doesnt get any worse from here. This is the stage that scared me the very most with my husband. I did have the chemo docs give him a little fluid one day when we were in for a check up, and it was amazing how well he bounced. Erik hit the peak of his depression right about this time too, I just made sure that it was brought up at the next appointment, and the doc put him on some meds for a few months. We are seven weeks out of treatment right now and the improvement is AWESOME!! I took him to Vegas this weekend and he partied and kept up like the rest of us (cept he slept in later) My prayers are with you, I know how scary it is right now!!
