Hi Denise, Thanks for the prayers. We know how much of a help they are. I wouldn't say that I'm amazing, just doing what any good daughter would do. Dad has been taking care of me my whole life (even after I've been out on my own for many years). Now it's his turn to sit back, get well and let me do for him. If I am amazing it's because I had good role models.
Update: Tuesdays will be chemo days. He will receive 7 treatments of Cisplatin. His pain is still increasing, but the MO has now taken over the pain management side. So now he is on 50 ml patches of Fentanyl along with Percocet for the break through pain. We are encouraging him to take the Percocet more often than he has been in order to get the pain under control. I think he is starting to understand.
Thanks again to everyone for all the thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement. I can't say enough about how much we appreciate them at this time.
Hugs,
Joy
