@zash15 hi and thank you so much for taking the time to write such an extensive response to my original post. Wow, it sounds like both your husband and my partner are tracking so similarly. I can only hope to have the luck that you both have had so far I’m sure not without challenges. It gives me a lot of hope to read what you have written. Right now, I am just feel so scared and filled with immense anxiety and fear. Your husband‘s response has me hopeful.
With all those treatments that your husband has had so far, how have they affected him emotionally and physically? Has it just been awful? Or is there a chance that it doesn’t affect everyone quite the same? I am assuming you guys have weighed the pros and cons and had decided to go ahead and do these modalities and have been given such amazing results. This gives me such great hope in lessons, my fear and anxiety immensely. Thank you so much again for sharing your husband’s experience with me.
kindly,
SR

@sriddle1 Hi, the biggest side effect he dealt with was fatigue. He learned it was okay to absolutely do nothing on some days and take naps as needed. He is working on managing his weight gain. Occasional hot flashes weren’t too bad for him. Emotionally, the knowledge that PC reached a lymph node has been a burden, and he continues to be on an emotional roller coaster, but he has gotten better. We keep reminding ourselves, as others have kindly shared, there are more treatments if needed, and to appreciate where we are in the moment. Best of luck on your journey.
