Feb 2017

My husband was not the stoic and brave cancer patient.
He was afraid. He was sometimes mean. He complained a LOT!
He called me the food Nazi ( lol) because I did all I could to keep his weight up. I was successful and his doctors
complimented me. He only lost 18 lbs.
In public he acted brave, but it was a front.

We have had wonderful news though. The radiation and chemo did the job apparently.
Last week the doctor scheduled his next appointment for August.
