@bovic21, how is your wife doing with the chemo treatment? How are her spirits? How are YOU doing?

Hi Colleen, thanks for asking how we are.
First 3 days of chemo were this past week. Day 1 was 8 hours and day 2 and 3 were 2 hours.
My wife got thru these treatments with just one noticable side effect, extreme tireness. She comes home from the treatments and sleeps 2 or 3 hours, then up 3 or 4 hours being a little active, then back to bed. Her eating isn't great but she says she has no nausea. So not too bad. We anticipate it getting worse.
All our family lives nearby. We have 9 grandkids and right now we have elected to have no visitors, worrying about colds and such. We usually see them a lot, and right now that is
bothering her more than anything.
I'm doing good. I'm not too busy but I also get tired. We've got 2 full weeks off and plan to rest up.
March 11 Round 2 of chemo starts and about that time radiation plans to start.
All the suggestgions we received here came in handing or will in the future.
We are taking hercule's advice, ONE DAY AT A TIME!
