Hard to believe it's been almost an entire month since providing an update. Dad is tolerating chemo treatments pretty well. He's had lost of odd side effects: sensitive to eating and touching cold things, food tastes funny, he's always cold, nosebleeds, sensation of air blowing up into the nostrils, and a list almost as long as my arm -- all of which (the doctor tells him) is normal. He's getting used to anticipating when his "real bad" days are gonna be, usually Thursday-Friday-Saturday after getting the pump removed, which happens every other week.
As of last week, his platelets were a little low. More blood work will be done Monday, and next Tuesday will begin round 3 (of 6). Looking forward to celebrating the half-way mark!
Other than occasional depression, Dad looks real good to me.
Thanks, as always, for your love, support and cards.
