Sorry I haven't been in for some time......

My husband was in the hospital for a month long stay (he has kidney disease and kidney cancer). He's getting dialysis and chemo. It's a curable and treatable cancer.

He has been home, since mid Nov. and doing outpatient dialysis and chemo. He has to use a walker and I need to take care of him and everything in the home.

I've been so busy since Oct. that I haven't had the time to use the computer.

I'll try to catch up with all the threads whenever I've time to do it.

Thank you Ronnie.

We saw his kidney dr. today. He goes back to see her in 6 weeks. She is still keeping him on kidney dialysis once a week. She is able to keep track of him (of his progress) when he's at dialysis and she's on the same software as the hospital when he goes in for chemo.

He has a CT Scan on Jan. 24 and his 5th chemo is Jan. 28. His 6th chemo is 3 weeks after Jan. 28.

He gets tired and lays in bed to rest during the afternoons and he goes to bed a lot earlier than I do at night.
