Monday came and his treatment went well except for the fact that they were having some issues with his port. It didn't want to give any blood out of it. They ended up keeping him there to run something through it to try and clear it. Hopefully it will take care of the issue. If not they will have to go back to
He has noticed that his hair is falling out. By this morning, I think he had enough so he is planning on shaving it off. I keep telling him that it's just hair and it's better than the alternative but I totally understand how it bothers him. He has always had really nice thick, wavy hair which I was lucky enough to inherit!! I asked him if he wanted me to shave my head too...I have to say that I was a little relieved that he said no. I would have done it though if it made him feel better. We could be the cone heads here at work lol!! He's going to really have put some sunscreen on his noggin...he always gets really red when he's in the sun and I am sure he doesn't want to have his head burned!
He seems to be tolerating the meds a little better than he was in the beginning. He is super tired but he has been behaving...well that might be stretching it but at least he's taking it a little bit easier than he usually does. Mom found a guy that came over and trimmed the yard up as it's just too much for Dad to do right now. Of course he was paranoid it would look like the moonscape when he got home. I haven't seen it but since he didn't mention it I am assuming it looked good.
Went to the Dr. today and got my flu shot, I don't want to get him sick...now I just need to get everyone else here at the office to get one! You don't realize how fragile your immune system can get with the chemo.
It's Wednesday so we are on the downhill slide! I'll post again soon!
Thank you to everyone that has followed the blog and sent such nice notes to Dad! I know he has so many people out there fighting for him and it makes me so happy to see that.
