Week of firsts

First radiation treatment is under his belt and we’re back home. They’ve increased to 8 weeks (5 days a week) because they want to hit it from both sides of the neck. Today was a long appointment with preliminary meeting w/team. From here on out it'll be a quick 15 min unless the nurse wants to chat.

Tomorrow is the first of the two chemo treatments. He’ll go to radiation for 8:45 a.m. treatment then chemo at 9 a.m. for 6 hour drip. The job today tomorrow Wednesday is to hydrate hydrate hydrate as it lessens the chemo toxin hanging out and wreaking more havoc with the body. James is not huge on on hydration unless we're talking coffee and beer. I'm trying to switch it up to water and gatorade. Tricky business.

So all is good so far. Today I'm trying to push for the new scripts to be called in from the med onc that we’re supposed to bring to the chemo appt. Seems to be a glitch in the system and time is getting tight. I'd be hesitant to move forward with chemo tomorrow if we don't have the antinausea med in hand. Yikes.
