Half time!!!!

As of this past Friday we hit our "half time".  We are now half way though Jason's treatments and have 1 chemo left!!  His tumor is responding VERY well to the treatment and I have been taking photos of it to prove it.  It's really amazing!

This last chemo was #2 for him and hit him a lot harder than the first.  Saturday he had very hard hiccups all day. He would try home remedy's and they would stop for maybe 30 minutes and then come right back!  The hiccups do not help the sick feeling!  Trying to get Jason to use the feeding tube as often as he should is also fun.....He has 1 last chance then I will tell the Dr yes on the home care nurse to come set him up for evening feeding with a pump!

He got extra fluids on Sunday and more today due to how rotten he feels.  Dr Grass gave him a script for his hiccups IF he needs it...he said they are not as bad.  Stubborn man!  I honestly think Dr Chua is linked to us mentally!  We met with her on Friday and she made a comment about the pre meds before radiation.  "You are responding very well to treatment so we can NOT stop the amifostine!"  How did she know he was planning on telling her he wanted to stop it!  Then today he was laying in his bed feeling like crud and I asked our radiation nurse Bonnie if she could grab Kim to talk to Jason about how he is feeling because he was in a panic that he could not lay still for the radiation.  TA DA - Dr Chua walks through the door and right up to us!  She told him what he didn't want to hear (That he HAS to do it) and also helped soothe him!

Trying to keep the kids happy, the house clean, Jason helped, dogs let out and feed, and food on the table is getting to be a bit stressful, but we are half way there!  AND I have some amazing people volunteering to bring dinners!  This means the world to me and I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart!
