Chemo week from h*ll is (i hope) finally over at our house.
My God he was sick this time! Worst reaction ever for us.
Two more weeks until the scans and we are awaiting calls for appointments with a psychologist to change his anxiety/anti depression medication and a therapist to talk s*** out with.

I'm finally accepting that I'm all the help I'm going to get with this fight.(IRL on a local level)
Matt and I discussed a lot of issues that may be in our future and I am feeling much more confident. I can do this.
