He will be having chemo every 2 weeks from what we have been told and that each time he will stay overnight. He has 3 courses of chemo during his treatment. I feel sorry for the nurses having him overnight because he's not a sit down and be quiet kind of guy. He had never been in a hospital himself until his biopsy. Pretty good to reach 43 without any ops. He will be the patient from hell when he is forced to stay overnight, I'm sure.
