Yeah - it ain't gonna be fun but it beats getting at least 4 possibly 5 separate incisions in the old tummy and not having a stomach or being to eat like a normal human for the rest of my life.
This really depends on the side effects from the chemo. Side effects from the radiation are not too big and the entire process only lasts a little over 5 weeks. Chemo goes on for 12 weeks and has the potential for some serious side effects.
Will find out in about 10 days (gulp), lol.
I guess the chemicals are quite serious stuff toxic-wise. All my clothes, bed stuff, towels, and so on have to be washed twice in hot water then washed as normal. Plus no mixing of mine with my wife's after the 2 hot washes. My immune system will be compromised a bit so I should wear a mask if I go anywhere. Not to protect other folks from me but to protect me from whatever they might have. Avoiding little kids as well. The weirdest thing is (and ya'll gonna get a laugh out of this) I'm supposed to pee sitting down. No splashing, plus close the lid afterwards, and flush twice. Methinks they are getting a little carried away with all that, lol.
