I'm very sorry for your news. Here is my question: Is the 48 hour chemo that portable one that you wear home? That's what my husband does every treatment. He was diagnosed with esophageal cancer Sept 9. He has had no food or drink since then as the tumor has completely blocked his esophagus. So today he finished the last chemo treatment. He will soon have a PET scan to see if it has spread anymore or if it's gone or what. (He refused radiation and surgery.) The 48 hour chemo is no big deal. It aggravates him cuz the fanny pack gets in his way. But we go let the nurses disconnect it after 48 hours and then he is free again. Don't despair. Just take it as it comes. We have met several people, even young ones, who have to take chemo weekly or monthly the rest of their lives. They just accept it and keep moving forward. We take one step at a time. We work hard at not worrying about the future. Instead we like to enjoy the sunsets, the.chickens, the grandkids, the occasional outing....life is good if you don't weaken...and if you're a Believer, it's even better! Best wishes and many blessings!
