Hey Tim & Kathy,
I am sorry to hear that Kathy was having trouble. I hope it isn't anything too serious.
As for chemo & sex, Dr. Koch elaborated on that as well. He said it could take up to two years (freaked Shawn out) for things to work naturally. That is why he was eager to go ahead and try the injections & pills. They are working OK, sometimes better than others, but we are just taking it one day at a time. I have encouraged Shawn to call Dr. Koch if it too bothersome for him, but he is insistant on just waiting until his next appointment in August.
Other than the sexual side affects, our life is pretty much back to normal. A couple of weeks ago, Shawn was at work, changing a light bulb & FELL OFF THE LADDER! I almost killed him! He couldn't understand why I thought he shouldn't be on a 10 foot ladder just 4 months after a major surgery where he lost 2 of his organs. Luckily, he only spranged his ankle, but I almost killed him. I used your line - something about how he may feel 10 foot tall & bullet proof. I think I got my point across & doubt he will be doing much of anything involving a ladder anytime soon.
We are gearing up for the Kentucky Derby this weekend & are looking forward to a fun day at the track. Let me know if you have any tips! Glad to hear all is well with you & I hope Shawn gets the same report in August.
Steph
