Happy 4th of July!

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.
