Thanks Vera and ican for your posts.  My Hubby had his second round of chemo today.  His white cell ***** went up and the platelets went down, but not enough to stop the chemo.  He goes in for a ct-scan in 2 weeks, if the tumor has shrunk he will have his 3rd round of chemo, if not, he isn’t doing any more chemo.  He got a prescription for some cough medicine with codine.  Hopefully, he will have some relief tonight and we will get some sleep.  He is also experiencing some shortness of breath, which goes along with the lung cancer.  It was a long day and we were glad to get home.  One of the nurses gave him a homemade quilt (throw) to bring with him while he gets chemo.  He really appreciated it as he is cold all the time.  The 2 chemo rooms were full today with people getting treatment.  We talked to some nice people and they had us laughing, it made the 3 hours go by more quickly. Ican, I have been to the lung cancer support group only once, but I am going to go back as the people there were very nice and supportive.  Thanks to you all for your support.  I will never be able to tell you how much it means to me.Seize all the good things in life
