So all this happened in a matter of weeks. They started him on the two oral meds right away. When we met with oncologist he said the chemo would take about 6 months but it would pretty much knock him down and he wouldn’t be able to do anything and it would add about 6 months to end of his life. Well to my dad that wasn’t a good trade off because he wouldn’t miss his grandkids games and stuff and live 6 months longer when he will probably be at his worst. Well about a month after this we went to Md Anderson and that Dr said the chemo would not have done that to him. That more than likely he would be tired a couple days and fingers tingle but that was it. But he didn’t want to start chemo then because it had already been a couple months since he started the meds and it was all working really good.
Only issue right now other than not much energy is he started having pain in lower back that radiates to abdomen and shoots down leg. If we could get that stopped it would be wonderful!
