this morning when we went to radiation Don wasn't feeling well. he was dizzy and has been for the last few days, since the last chemo. they checked his vitals and his heart rate was very high and it was determined that he is dehydrated. Its not surprising because he has slept so much that he hasn't been able to watch his fluid intake so well. So they sent us to the emergency room and hooked him up to an IV to give him fluids. They are doing tests to make sure it isn't anything else but everyone is sure that it is just simply lack of fluids.
This same thing happened after the first chemo and we probably should have recognized the symptoms but Don always says he is drinking enough fluids. Unfortunately Don's definition of enough fluids is not the same as the dr's.
I'll keep everyone posted and probably update this tonight.
