Week Three - Check

Week three is in the books - yay!
To say the least Steve has been not been easy to live with. This week was hard on both of us. Understandably, harder on me - kidding!! It has to be very hard not to be able to taste, not want to eat and receive treatments daily. Of course, this is why he's suppose to keep his weight up and drink plenty of water - but enough about that.
The good news is that both doctors believe the mass on his neck has gotten smaller (originally it measured 4 cm). Unfortunately we won't be able to find out how the tumor on the base of his tongue is doing until weeks after treatments are done.
Steve mentioned hopefully he'll feel better and be able to go back to work mid-October - I think I got whiplash turning my neck so quickly and saying, maybe you can go back to work earlier, let's think positively!! Here's to having a relaxing weekend. I think I hear a glass (bottle) of wine calling me.
The countdown continues....4 more chemo and 20 more radiation treatments!
