Hi Nicole,
It could be the chemo, but it is just as likely to be all the stress and fatigue associated with both receiving the diagnosis and starting the treatment. Mentally adjusting to the new reality takes time and hits us all differently.
Is he sleeping and eating OK?
Best wishes
Dave
He's not sleeping but this is because he is scared in case he doesn't wake - he is eating well thankfully - I'm hoping for another scan to check if it has spread. Although since he has been out of hospital he is getting back to his normal self. Little things like trying to turn the TV over by pointing the remote to the clock and getting annoyed when it didn't change. It is just so hard to watch I'm struggling so I can't even begin to imagine how much he is. Just trying my best to be there. I'm there everyday - my newborn has spent the first few months of her life up and down to the hospital visiting her granda it just breaks my heart. But he has an appointment tomorrow - he might get more chemo we don't know yet xx
