Tuesday update

Dad continues to feel good and strong and is ready for the next round of chemo on Thursday. He went to the surgeon that did the lymph node removal and that has healed up nicely...so he gets to take the steri-strips off. It turns out he could have taken them off sooner, but we didn't know...but it's good and healed now. Dad's hair has started to fall out...just yesterday. They seemed to be surprised that it hadn't started to fall out before last Thursday when we were in to see the doctor, but the nurse practioner thought it would for sure by the next chemo. I went to the store today and bought a hair buzzer so it's ready to go when Dad says to. It will probably be within a day or two I would guess. Dad's fine with it. Sara thinks he should start wearing his sunglasses with the new style. We'll keep you posted. This time for chemo Dad is planning on taking his laptop and doing some work while having the treatment. We go in this Thursday at 8:20. They do the blood work first and then will start the chemo a bit before 9:00. I'll try to get online there and send off an email to let you all know how he's doing. I may even try to post something on this site. Keep sending those positive thoughts....they really help!
