Treatment's over - He's shot!

Terry is still getting infusions to protect his kidneys. Nurse Heidi said that she was really pleased with his blood work - of course, he's not like me, and doesn't demand to know exactly what that means. But, he's doing good.
That makes me really happy - I don't want cancer treatment to kill him!

Most of the people I know who have been through cancer treatment are younger. And they don't have to face as many of the issues related to Type II diabetes, kidney, heart issues that us geezers have to face.

Terry is resting and sleeping a lot. The radiation pain is actually there - doesn't prevent him from eating, but he says it's sore. Docs usually expect radiation to continue working for a couple of weeks - so he is experiencing more.

We found this stuff called Muscle Milk. It has higher protein, and less glucose than even the meal plans marketed extensively for diabetics (ok, Glucerna). He says it really tastes good.
