he just finished his second week of chemo. they are adding on 2 week break again and doing a PET scan then another round of chemo before sending him to Mayo for radiation.

I can tell when he is on chemo, he coughs so much less. The coughing was 24/7 and made it hard for me to sleep even far away in another area of the house. The chemo had no side effects this time whatsoever. He lost his job months ago so he's just at home laying in bed day in day out. First round wiped him out 2 weeks ago.

now we wait.......

The hard part for me is that I cannot work easily due to the virus so we are now both getting unemployment and thank goodness we have good insurance as we are both too young for medicare.

just updating for others who may walk this path.
