He just started being light sensitive and getting silent migraines. We have the room darkened and the screens turned down, which is fine, I get migraines from bright light myself. Have to be flexible.

My personal fantasy is he'll be 100% better by Sept. and won't need radiation. And I sure hope he isn't on it as long as he is on chemo.

John gets a Neulasta shot after each long session, which builds his white blood cell count. He just started on Procrit for RBC. I've heard of Aquaphor. I'll put that on my list. Thanks!
