Notes

Thank you Sara, for setting this up. I love the name of the blog! Thank you, Delia, for your input! I think this blog will be a good place to pass on updates and for everyone to connect and communicate. I know it means a lot to Dad to have everyone a part of this.

I think as a general request, I would ask that it would be best to not have this blog be the place to talk about particulars of lymphoma, or statistics, etc. We have been inundated with this type of scientific information by the nurses & doctors and it’s to the saturation point. I’d rather see this as a place to show our support, love, and good intentions to Dad and to each other. I know everyone has been so supportive and positive and it is so important to continue this for all involved.

However, we do welcome information on alternative treatments…such as Andy pointed out an article in the paper about using ginger pills to help with nausea with chemo treatments. This is fine… (actually the same article was in the Lincoln paper that day & I am going to ask the doctor about that before the next chemo treatment). Information like this is positive and hopeful. So things that include those elements are always good to communicate.

I’ll be writing updates regularly and I’m sure everyone will be hearing about white blood cells, and platelets, and other fairly foreign words to most of us. It will be a learning experience for all involved as we move through this.

I can tell you that Dad is very strong and very focused on beating this and to have all of your support and love only helps him more. So for now….Go Grandpa, Go!!
