Deb, Thanks for your reply. Yikes! I didn't realize Richard might be getting a combo of drugs. The nurse told us 3-3/12 and then it's off to radiation. I'm sure they don't tell you everything, but our nurses seem very nice and compassionate. I'm trying to stay upbeat, relieved that we are starting, but dreading the next several weeks. We are at the mercy of our situation and the measure of our courage will be tested fully.
Thanks again for your input. It means a lot to hear from someone who has been through this. Write again if you have anymore info or helpful hints. Geri
