It looks like all of the pieces are in place to take this thing on, according to the docs' plans. We've met with all of the key players and have managed to find a schedule that fits for everyone, so far. Again, we have been so impressed with the responses from all of the medical personnel, in and out of the hospital.
Mike finishes his first week of treatment this afternoon and then has the weekend off, which will be a welcome thing for both of us--especially Terry, who is logging plenty of extra miles around ATL.
Most of the what the doctors predicted has started to show for these early stages: loss of appetite, increasing fatigue, low-level nausea, and some difficulty in swallowing. While those don't sound like positive signs, the strength of the symptoms are well within the expected ranges, so nothing to be worried about. The key now is to monitor those symptoms and keep them in a tolerable range for the next several weeks of treatment.
The blog seems to be working wonders in so many ways (more about that in another post), so please keep checking it, and posting to it when you can.
In the meantime, enjoy your weekend, and stay in touch.
