Spoke to the oncologist this afternoon. Told him that for the past 2 days, Husband has barely been able to get out of bed. The only things that drag him out of bed are:
1) The need to puke or purge, which weakens him even further
2) Me nagging him to eat something after his meds; after which he stumbles back into bed again
So, with the oncologist's agreement, Husband will no longer be taking the chemo pills as the side effects are just too debilitating for him. Since last Wed he has lost another 4kg. If he continues at that rate, he will just disappear into thin air :-(.
It should take 3 - 4 days for the pills to work their way out of his system completely, so hopefully by Friday he should start perking up a bit... and getting his appetite back I hope (though the capacity of his stomach has shrunk considerably).
So, keep him in your prayers and thoughts that he will get his appetite, his energy, his strength back, steadily from today.
Till next time, stay safe, stay HEALTHY!
