My husband rang the bell today and we are home. His major side effects are the awful mucus near his soft palate and everything tastes horrible. He has been eating all kinds of food this whole time and has been maintaining his weight pretty well. He is looking forward to the day when food tastes good again and eating is not so daunting. We return for a check up with the radiology doctor April 16th and a pet scan will be scheduled in 4 months. It was a very emotional day today as I was so happy to be heading home, but sad to not be with my kids and grandkids who have been my saving grace through all of this. I think I have been holding in lots of feelings and emotions as a lot of it came out as we were leaving. I am crossing my fingers that the next few weeks will be a time of healing, rest, and improvements.
Well done Mr Rara.
look after both of yourselves. Losing wrap around care can feel like falling off a cliff …..easy does it.
