Feeling the Stress
It's just been one of those days, nothing bad, nothing new , just another day waiting. Dave had his appointment to have a CT scan and the placement of "markers" put on his chest to aim in on the hot spot, but we still don't know when they start the treatment. We should find out that tomorrow. We really don't feel like we can afford the normal waiting period of 10-14 days until treatment starts, so we explained that to the intern and he was very understanding and is going to try to get us going sooner. It doesn't make much sense to waste money on lodging just waiting. Dave, otherwise, is doing quite well. He is eating much better, staying hydrated, but we both are having trouble sleeping at night. The neuropathy in Dave's feet seem to keep him awake, and his tossing and turning keeps me awake!! Aren't we just the pair??!! I just hope we aren't crazy by the time we get home!

I am sure you have talked to your doctor about your not sleeping. There are a whole variety of medications for sleep available. Is Dave on Neurontin? This is a drug that is sometimes very helpful with the neuropathy discomfort. Good luck with the radiation. GlenH
