Hi again Folks,
Today was Hubby's 4th outta 7 chemos. Hoepfully only 3 more to go. He had a reaction to the taxol for the second time and this time he was only 15ccs into the treatment. Needless to say it's been a long day. The dr. will talk with us next week on changes. The only thing he was definite on was he would not be continueing the taxol.
In answer to all of your great recommendations. I have already started giving him fluids thru the PEG and will be prabably giving him more each day as the week progresses. the ulcers in his mouth are not getting better even with 3 days off this weekend. You'll be happy to hear tho that he insists on swallowing everything that he can handle and I"m confident he'll press on with swallowing as often as he can muster. He is also pressing on with the dynasplint although he dosen't always get to it 3 times a day like he is suppose to.
The home suction machine will be here tomorrow. I didn't even have to ask, the dr. ordered it today and if we hadn't been in chemo all day they would have delivered it already. Now that impressed me. That they were so quick to respond to his order.
Mondays are always taxing and I must say I'm worn out and a little overwelmed at the moment. it's good to know all of you are here at the end of a day like this. Thank you again everyone! You have been a great help and I have a feeling I'll be leaning even more on all of you during thses days ahead.
