Quiet week this week. We went to chemo on Tuesday, but after talking with Jim's doctor, we decided not to have chemo. Jim took 2 liters of fluids, a bone hardener and some steriods to try to get his appetite up. He now only weighs 150 lbs; down from 175 lbs. in October. I'm giving him bodybuilder protein shakes in an attempt to stop the weight loss, but we may have to look at putting in a pick line to give him ammino acids and proteins via a vein in his arm. Dr. Cox assures me that feeding him this way is very simple to do at home, and only takes a couple of hours a day. Then at least if he can't eat anything, he'll still get nutrition into his body.
