Hello!
Friday we are supposed to have a "chemo education" class and Monday, 6/30 is supposed to be his first treatment. I am very nervous and scared for him.
I have no idea what to expect. Many folks are telling me some horrible stories of vomiting and worse. I am hoping he is strong enough to get through it.
I'm hoping for a miracle....

Hello Definitely know how you feel not knowing what exactly is going to happen. So write down any questions you might have and no there is no dumb questions. You should get a binder which will have all kinds of information. Now everything in the binder will not necessarily happen to your husband. I know the waiting is hard. But getting started is some relief. Having a positive mindset is more helpful than you might think for yourself and your husband. Not easy but helps emotionally and physically and mentally. You won’t know until you actually start the treatments everyone is different. I was pretty good a little nausea but with nausea medicine I was fine. So he might do fine which I’m hoping for you guys. Also nutritionist can help along with doctors and nurses. I’ll be thinking of both of you be well and remember you can always talk to anyone here even as your starting the treatments.
