Today was the first full day without chemo and the headaches were still plaguing him through most of the morning but they seemed to have eased up this evening. His appetite is good and there doesn't seem to be many side effects at this point. He has a little neuropathy and sensitivity to cold in his fingers. I found a product called Avemar on the internet. It's a fermented wheat germ extract and some doctors are starting to use it in conjunction with chemo. It has anti-cancer agents and at the very least has been know for easing the side effects of chemo. It can't hurt so I'll keep mixing it up and making him drink...he swears I'm trying to poison him!

The blog was a great idea. Plus, you keep making him drink that stuff even if he thinks you are posioning him!! I'm sure he has drank much worse tasting stuff. Let us know if you need anything. Larry and I are just a phone call away.
