The weak kidney appears to have jumpstarted itself and the other good kidney is doing its thing too. Lots of aches and pains today, three iv sites shut down at the same time, but a new iv was just put in. My dad has been up walking today, and at the moment, chowing down on a fresh fruit cup I brought up from the snack bar. The urologist and vascular docs have been by--they are pleased and say everything went great yesterday and he's doing fantastic. They call him their star patient who had an impressive gathering of top docs working on him yesterday (eight in all).
After dinner, the oncology doctor came by. Chemo will begin around the end of April/early May, and will last for 6 months minimum. (Two weeks on, two weeks off.) Iron treatments begin tomorrow to build up Dad's strength. PETScan next week.
