Everything is status quo....

Marshall is still feeling pretty lousy -- he has been suffering with the colitis all weekend.  It's kind of ironic that the radiation treatments seem to be slowly but surely alleviating the pain in his lower spine but they are trading that pain for the pain of colitis.  And if he thought the hormone therapy treatments caused fatigue, the radiation doubled the fatigue.  He can't win.

But he seems to me to be just very slightly better.  We took a little walk out to the garage and back today and when we got back in the house he was exhausted!  However, he is regaining his appetite, so that is a good thing.  And the food is staying down, another really good thing.  The stomach cramps aren't as severe, either.  I hope it continues.

Tomorrow we go to the clinic for blood work to check his white blood count to be sure it's coming back up.
