Dad made it through this weekend with flying colors. He had no adverse reactions to the chemo. His appetite remained good. His blood work was good yesterday and today. His kidneys are functioning well...and that was the concern this weekend because of the breakdown of cancerous cells and the amount of processing that the kidneys needed to do to pass these cells. So all in all it was a good weekend. He also passed Nurse Ratchet's (me) copious-drinking-of-water test...I think his teeth are floating tonight!
If he feels good tomorrow morning, he's going in to work for a half day. The other half will be at the oncologists office getting more blood work done. Luckily, they draw the blood from his picc line so he doesn't have to get poked each time. I'll send off a report after we get back late tomorrow afternoon from that Dr. visit. That's it for now.
