And So It Begins
This past week, Dad started chemotherapy. On October 9, Dad went in for a small surgery to put in a pic line, which is a semi-permanent IV in his shoulder. He also got a PT scan so the doctors can compare where he is in December, when he gets another one, to where he started out and see how much he has progressed. On Monday, Oct. 13, Dad went in and was hooked up to the medicine through his IV. He was there for around 5 hours, but was able to go home after and even went in to work. He went into work every day after, and even worked full days. They took him off the medication on Wednesday and he starts it again on the 27th. We're happy to say that he is doing great! He is a little tired of course, but so far, he is handling the medication well. He even met us all at the zoo on Friday, and we all were able to enjoy the nice weather and company together.

No comments on this section, yet. We can't let it stand alone, now can we? :) Good luck to you, Dad. We're praying that the medicine will take effect and do whats its supposed to do. These kinds of treatments have come a long way - even in the past few years.
