Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 60 | Thanks all for the good wishes, We have decided to do the 3 months treatment then look at the PET results and see where we go from there. The Chemo made him very ill and hubby does not want to spend what time he has left in hospital with Chemo Side effects and not being able to hold any nutrition down. We are hoping though it wont be as bad next session. I have also asked him if he wants to go "home" (UK) but he wants to stay here says he prefers palm tree's to rain anyday! Its a blessing we have time to make plans, many people don't get that.
Take care for now

Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 60 | Hi All, Since my last post it has been a very rough ride. DH has not been able to tolerate any sort of chemo, his bloods kept crashing to near fatal on 2 occasions, so his doc tried different things same results, he was in hospital so much he joked about changing his address to theirs. He is now on Erbitux (sp?) that seems to be okay, just vomiting day after treatment, but it passes, will have another pet in 4 weeks time to see what the progression is (hoping none!) Take care of yourselves Sammie + a sleeping Rich!
