Okay .. it’s been almost two weeks since his last treatment and it’s been a miserable time.  He hasn’t eaten much, hasn’t slept much.  He lays down and everything drains down his throat so he starts choking.  His body is detoxing – getting all that poison out of it any way it can … thru the nose, mouth, butt.  It doesn’t sound pretty but it is what it is.  But I think he’s starting to feel a little bit better.  Still tires easily.

But a ray of sunshine …. he actually had a piece of chicken tonight, not pureed, mashed or anything of the sort … an actual piece of chicken with mashed taters and some wax beans.   Yummy.  So happy.

I told him once he starts eating more normal food, he’ll feel less tired and not spend so much time in the bathroom!  and not need so many meds!

One day at a time.

The End Part 1

The end has come … for treatment that is.  Last radiation treatment was yesterday and I wasn’t sure he was going to make it.  He’s had a miserable past few days, okay week plus days.  They gave him a certificate of completion and his mask which had to go hide in the basement … too freaky.  Every day now is a day closer to being healed. But his spirits are better!

I’ll keep posting on the healing adventure.

Down to one

Yipee …. One more radiation treatment left.  Tomorrow is the last day for zapping.  Georg had his last chemo treatment on Tuesday.  Now let the healing begin.  We’re marking the calendar for the first cheeseburger.  He’s been eating only lipton noodle soup all week cause he can’t get anything down – his throat is so sore. 

It’s been a long rough road.  Pet scan in two weeks to make sure that nasty thing is gone baby gone.

 

 

Six down two to go

End of week six and it’s starting to catch up with him.  More bad days than good this week.  He’s wondering if he can make it the next two.  We don’t want to think of the alternative if he quits.  He actually had to use his borg tube once this weekend.  I wonder how long it’s going to take for him to start to feel better after treatment ends?  I guess we will have to wait and see.
