Good morning Menopaws. If my DHs bloods are ok on Tuesday he will have his last chemo on Thursday. Since it started in mid July it feels as though it has been a period of relative calm, they are actually doing something. From when he was diagnosed in May until treatment started there was much faffing about, they kept booking him in for chemo only for it to be postponed for some reason. That for both of us was very hard, especially him. The combination of drugs he has have not as yet led to any harsh side effects. Constant tiredness and some stomach pain but no sickness or hair loss. (We found the chemo talk they have to give before treatment starts to be terrifying). I would imagine that in the majority of chemo treatments there is ground for hope that it will have the desired effect and shrink the tumours. I do hope that is the case for your partner. For my DH the chemo is palliative, his condition is terminal but even so the fact that he is receiving chemo gives us hope for now. It really does help to talk about your fears for him, I hope his treatment goes well.
