The first day wasn't too bad, just exhausting. It started off with pills one hour before eating, eating, then pills to take after eating. Gary has set up a spread sheet to keep track of the meds: ones before or after eating, ones that are 2,3 or 4 times a day, ones to take as needed and ones to take at bedtime. Soon they'll be color coded too.
The intitial radiation session was longer then the future ones will be. Getting everything set up, x-rays and stufftook close to two hours. Todays session should be 15 minutes or so.
No reaction to the chemo, there are drugs to prevent nausea and after the radiation, he was tired.
Alex is home and Danielle is expected soon. That's something to cheer Gary & Rhonda both. Friends are more then welcome to visit.Just check with Rhonda before so there isn't an overload on any particular day and rememeber Gary tires easily.
