ups & downs

sorry i haven't updated in such a long time... lots of stuff going on around here lately...

dad started new chemo on monday 03/07... at first dad said it wasn't too bad... but then it really kicked in and knocked him on his ass... he was sick and out of commission for about two weeks... then last week, he started feeling better... actually made it out to a pubsday... pounding down that root beer!!!

starts chemo again today... pretty sure he'll be down and out for a couple of weeks and then start feeling better again... the ups and downs...

not sure when the next scan will be but as soon as i find out i will be sure to let you all know...

oh and by the way - my father is now beardless... since he already has no hair on his head - the chemo decided to take aim at his face... he's had a beard since he retired in december of 1995... it's a little weird to see him without it...

much love...

  2. Praying for you guys! My personal experience during chemo was what your Dad is seeing, somewhat of a delayed reaction and then being knocked down for a while. Don't be surprised if recovery time takes a little longer after each round. The good news is he's already two cycles in, right? : )
