So have not been on for a bit. Just so dang tired.
His chemo is going well. 3rd Oxaliplatin today. Was a later sitting so had time for 2nd breakfast. Took hot cordial drink which really seemed to help when the throat convulsion effect kicked in. We figure that the drip lowers core body temperature so adding warmed drink might help reverse the chill effect. So far so good. Think they speeded up the rate of the drip? Fairly sure it was 450 last time and was definitely 500 this time. For sure it was good to get home after.
Once home he's managed a good bowl of barley soup and a banana as well as the capec. More cordial and a snooze and there is a definite improvement on last time.
Haven't convinced him to quit the smokes yet but it will come before the op. Or no op. Not an option.
Unless there is a trial? Who knows.
