One month since first diagnosis

It's been a roller coaster ride for all of us in our family. It's a month gone by, time fly. We can't imagine we have done so much in such a short period of time. My husband looking at me with his tired eye while I am still trying to rush things done. Besides focusing on taking care of his physical health. Mental health play a very important role throughout his treatment. Spare the moment and talk to him constantly will give him a lot of encouragement. Especially the first three days after the chemo treatment. I think his body is now creating a pattern. That first three days is very tough on him. Try to be with him and give him the courage to overcome the lack of appetite and nauseated feeling. The feeling to stop him intake of nutrition meals. By the forth day, his appetite regain and able to eat a little bit at a time. On the other hand don't over look to do some future planning and damage control. That way to avoid any more crisis arise. Another two more treatment to go for the first round, follow with a scan, another waiting game. Please keep praying for him, we hope there is a good report on the scan by the end of March.

  1. Hopefully the chemo treatments will kill the cancer cells or at least to stop them from advancing. This will be a long journey. You have been strong to help anh Phu get through this tough time and even willing to share his pain if possible, Continue staying positive and courageous spirit. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and anh Phu.
