@shellfinder, I'm relieved to hear that he's started treatment. Sometimes it takes us a bit to process what's happening and to get on board with the reality of what's needed for us to get better. It won't be easy, but that first step was huge for both of you. Wishing him much success! Communicating with his team about side effects will be important. It's been a few days, is he feeling ok after that first treatment?

Thank You for checking in on him, and he has actually had very little side effects. He did say he felt really soar (kinda like you feel with the flu), but they said he would. I believe it's from the immunotherapy treatment, but he's been taking the Clairatin and seems to be feeling a little better. He's still eating and drinking and no nausea so far. Next treatment will be the 26th. Hopefully, he will do just as good as he is now. He sees his Oncologist on that day also, right after his blood work... then treatment.
Thanks again for checking on him.
