Jim slept through while receiving treatment. Tolerated it well. By Monday night, tumor already shrinking. Goes in each day at 2 p.m. to receive a new bag--run by an infusion pump--wears in fanny pack. --Barb.
So far the hardest thing to do is to drink water "hydrate" continuously to flush out the destroyed cancer cells. This entails pissing every two hours. Sympathies are not forthcoming from mothers who retort: try carrying a baby for nine months. Alls well. Barbara is a saint. It is an impossible task to understand. Even more impossible to comply accurately with all the medications and dietary commands. JIM (typed by administrative assistant since I peaked at 10 WPM with 5 errors in all caps, no punctuation.)

ReplyDeleteWell, miracles will never cease. Jim, it looks like it took "chemo" to bring you into the 21st century technologically. Unbelievable. Hang in there, Jim and Barbara, we're all pulling for you. Carol

Jim and Barbara: just know you guys are in our thoughts and prayers. This blog is a great idea Andy, wish I had done it when I had my prostate surgery a few weeks ago, I could have kept you all up to date on my urinary activities, and other elements of that nether regions. Like Jim, not being technoclogially adept I am still trying to open Erin's e-mail to sign up and help.
