For the last 5 or 6 days my husband has been having a bad time. I began to wonder how he could "go downhill" so fast, get "worse" so fast. We had been told he would suffer some after effects from the radiation, but he seemed very ill, too ill for just that. So I allowed myself to panic there, for a day or so. Then today at lunch, for the fourth day in a row, he threw up his lunch and had to go lie down for a half hour. He is yellow, and easily exhausted.
Well, of course, once I re-read the inserts on his new medications I learned that these are common side effects of the drugs. It is unlike me to freak out like this, I guess the stress of it all has got to me. It might be the disease, of course, but this time I'm waiting for what the doctor has to say.
