Chemo Day

Dad had chemo again today. His numbers continue to be good. His blood pressure is good, he gained 1 pound, his oxygen was down to 89% and his blood count was good, even the red. The best news is that his cancer count continues to go down. When we started this journey in January, dads cancer count was 42,000. It went as low as 3,000 before starting to rise again. That is when the doctor decided to switch his chemo treatment. Well, his count went from 6,500 to 3,000 this week. The doctor is really pleased how dad's body is responding to this chemo treatment. Dad sounded good tonight, no nausea and feeling really good. It's a good day in the Cameron household.

Good Visit

We got to spend some time with mom and dad this weekend. Dad was doing pretty good on Friday. Sarah and I both spent the night with them. We got up on Saturday and met Chuck and Aunt Charlene for breakfast. Dad ate all of his breakfast!! Mom said he hasn't done that for awhile. That afternoon dad rested while mom, Sarah and I went to a movie. Mom doesn't go to movies very often so this was a nice outing for her despite the pouring rain. Steve and Emily showed up around 5 and we had some pizza. Dad just wasn't feeling well enough to go to the volleyball game. It was pouring down rain and we really can't have him getting sick. With his immune system down we decided it best if he not venture out in the cold. Kaity's team won her volleyball game so we are one of 8 teams going to the state playoffs next weekend. We stopped by mom and dad's on the way out of town so Kaity could say hello. I have posted some pictures so you can see how mom looks with her new hair do and how dad looks with his new no-hair do.

Dad meets with his surgeon tomorrow to get his stitches out around his port. They will also determine if the procedure they did last week will allow them to use the port or if they will need to remove it and put in a new port somewhere else. Mom also has a doctors appt tomorrow. We have discovered that she has not been taking care of herself and taking her medications either. It will not be a fun visit for her but it will hopefully get her back on track. I will let you know what happens.
