I will pray for you too. My husband had 4 FLOT treatments b4 surgery, then surgery and was going to have another 4 FLOT treatments but found it too hard on him post surgery. Apparently a lot can’t handle it the same after. He managed the chemo ok….the injections after it were what affected him the most. They work on keeping your immune system fighting. He had some neuropathy in his feet which started around the 2 nd course but that is fine now. Make sure he wears gloves and a scarf in the cold as that particular chemo can make being out in the cold difficult. All this has gone now and he’s feeling pretty good in himself. I’m sure your husband will manage it too. 🙂 we live in the South Island in New Zealand. Thanks for yr reply.
