@itlooksunny I typed out a response that is lost in the techy world somewhere! Dang it!

I also need to eat smaller meals. A small breakfast, a few hearty snacks during the day, a small dinner. Never know when I might have a diarrhea concerns, so there is loperamide hydrochloride in my medicine cabinet. The infusion center also recommends ginger or peppermint tea, or ginger chews.

Ask what tests showed too low. How does this delayed treatment impact his treatment plan? Does his Dr know about it, and have thoughts? In my center, we do the labs right before treatment and there is a lab onsite to handle everything.

Ask about a social worker you can see. They will also help family members, and may be able to offer you support group resources. No need to go through this alone! Yes, don't forget about taking care of yourself too, as you also transition to be a supportive family member and caregiver.

Dale is supposed to be on a 2300 calories per day! We get about 1500!
I sent an email requesting an appointment with Dr. Those are good questions, thank you!
