Well, the radiation machine is fixed and my Dad will be back to treatments on Monday. I do believe this break has been good for him. He has been able to heal a little bit and drink his shakes really well. Of course, now he has decided not to get the feeding tube. He thinks with this break, he's gotten enough strength to get through these last 3 weeks. I pray so. If things get too bad, he'll get the tube but I know it would be great for him if he can make it without.

He did discover today that his hair is starting to fall out from the chemo. My husband is going to give him a buzz haircut this evening. Was hoping he wouldn't lose much hair, but oh well. It'll grow back.

Just gotta get through these next 3 weeks....
