Great tips, @mgilson, to help keep weight loss in check. Kudos for getting out everyday - in Alaska no less - with take-chemo, tubes and all. A parka full of pockets must help.

How many more chemo sessions do you have scheduled or is it maintenance chemo?

Hi Collen, I have 7 more scheduled. Number 6 is tomorrow. This is my initial round of chemo. They are going to do 12 sessions initially. Do you have a link for information about radiation/chemo? My team told me that the thinking has evolved, and that in some cases radiation is warranted even with metastatic cancer. The decision point for this is several months away, and we will do another PET scan before any decisions are made. But meanwhile, I thought that I might do a bit of reading about the pros and cons of radiation.
