Kevin is still very tired from being so ill. Our evenings have been dinner at home then curling up in front of the fire for some reading. Sleeping.
He worries that the days and nights are too quiet for me. The truth is that I am exhausted too.
Kevin has decided to begin chemotherapy treatments again. He's been really torn about doing "the right" thing and it's been a hard decision for him to make.
I think, for him, it's the right thing to do. A return of the cancer will be devastating and more so if he feels regret about not continuing treatment this time.
That said, he is only agreeing to return to chemotherapy. No more radiation, he says. Ever. The fear of causing additional damage that will require more surgery is greater than the fear of not doing the treatment.
And only as much chemotherapy as he feels up to enduring. I know he has a certain number that he wants to meet; a chemotherapy goal, if you will. He wants to get through the initial 8 treatments. He's already compeleted 4 in Indiana.
His doctor has added an additional 4 treatments at this point. Those are the negotiable ones in Kevin's mind.
I'm hoping Kevin will find some peace in having made this decision.
