Al tried to go back to work today, but only lasted about half a day. He is currently sleeping. He says he is freezing. He's got the rest of us sweating because he keeps turning up the heat. He said he is a little bit nauseous and just so tired. I called the nurse and she said to just let him sleep, but keep checking his temperature because the Ethyol may cause a fever. He can take Tylenol if it comes to that. I was able to get him to drink some Gatorade. It's pretty early into this for him to be feeling this bad. We saw the radiation oncologist today and she said the pain will come in about another week. She said they will give him some mouthwash to help numb some of the sores that will develop in his mouth. They will also give him pain medication when the time comes. He told her that water already tastes gross and he has a metallic taste in his mouth. She said that is caused by the chemo (Cisplatin). I feel so bad for him to be this miserable already. My stomach is in knots. At least the kids are playing nicely downstairs. They know Daddy came home early because he isn't feeling well, so they are trying to be considerate.
