Dad went in on Friday to have his port inserted. He managed to convince the nurse and the Doctor to put it on his left side because he shoots his rifle on the right side! What a ding dong! They got him in much later than they were supposed to but I think he enjoyed watching one of the Sheriff's deputies sleeping while he was supposed to be watching an imate there to get a port put in.
The port is about the size of a quarter and sticks out about 1/2". He said if he was a drug user he'd have it made...no track marks! He said he could just inject his drugs right into the port. LOL!
He had his PET Scan this morning and he will begin his Chemo on Monday of next week. I know he is worried, you can see it in his eyes. I keep trying to tell him to be positive, that is one of the best things he can do at this point. He is in good health other than the cancer so I am hoping that he will tolerate the Chemo and still be able to be a part of everything here at work.
I'll let everyone know how he's doing after his first treatment!
