Insomnia
on Oct 20, 2009 in Side Effects Ron did not sleep at all last night. Not one wink. We figured he had been awake over 24 hours. After I left for work, he dozed off for about 2 hours. Then he called his doctor.  Insomnia is a side effect of Chemo, and has slowly become...

Jesus, Bring the Rain

AN ALMOST REGULAR GUY
on Oct 8, 2009 in Side Effects Humor We were told Ron's Chemo drugs would cause severe diarrhea. So, we stocked up for that. But it has given him the opposite problem. I had to make an emergency run to the grocery store at 5:30 a.m. this morning.     &...
