Cancer Count Down

Dad had a good appointment today. His blood pressure was almost perfect, his temp was normal and he maintained his weight. His red blood count was a bit low but not too low that they couldn't give him the chemo treatment. They gave him intravenous medication with his chemo to help bring those numbers back up. The doctor said that dad's body is responding very well to this chemo treatment, that his cancer count is down and he believes dad is going to be around for awhile. He said that dad will continue to have good and bad days. Mom mentioned that since dad is responding so well to this new treatment they will probably make it a weekly treatment and not do the 3 weeks on, 1 week off.

I just talked to dad and he said he is a bit nauseated and didn't eat much dinner. He is really tired because he hasn't slept much the last 2 nights. I pray that he will have a really good night of sleep tonight, and if he needs, tomorrow as well.

We'll keep you posted.
