Same situation still. Yesterday, Husband had 4 SMALL meals - at 8.30am, 11.30am, 4.30pm and 7.30pm. This was followed at 10pm by half a small packet of milk and some fruit yoghurt.... and the rest of the evening was spent going in and out of the toilet 4 times in the space of 40 minutes. He was wiped out, TOTALLY. Agonising pain in his lower back, literally nothing left in him, and crying in absolute despair. It was the absolutely worst last night in a very long time. After I got him into bed, dosed up with pain killers, I sat here in the study and cried my eyes out for what felt like forever. Even thinking about what he is going through is making me cry now, while I type this entry.
He is very calm today. Has said he is going to go on a minimal food diet (as if he was eating anything much to start with!) till his stomach has got over the side effects of radiotherapy.... but who knows how long that will take! And in the meantime, he gets skinnier and skinnier. I have spoken to our oncologist in Melaka and he is also puzzled by what is happening. However, he is going to be seeing the KL oncologist, at a conference they are attending this weekend, and will discuss the situation with him. So, I guess, for now, we have to be patient and just keep praying that these awful side effects will disappear SOON!
Till next time, keep Husband in your thoughts and prayers, and... stay safe, stay HEALTHY!
