My dad finished his last treatment this morning. He was sent home on Tuesday but 2 hours later went back to the ER because of his fever. He's still in the hospital but he's so happy that radiation is done and that he completed his 6 1/2 week treatment (2x a day). His oncologist gave him the "head mask" as a momento. He may have to stay for a while but we're all ok with that. The rash seems to be going away as well. The docs seems to believe that he had an allergic reaction to penicillin. In 3 weeks they want to do a catscan. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Shawna - I'm so happy for your dad and family. How long has it been since radiation was stopped? What do you mean by "couldn't feel anything"? I know that my dad did get blood on Saturday and his white blood cell count was low.
Tami - I'm not sure about the name of his chemo either. He's completed 6 out of 7 and his last one was on 9/12. He his getting out of bed and walking around but his ankles and legs are still a bit swollen. The docs want him to have his legs up.
Take Care all. As always, you're all in my thoughts.
