Well after 6 weeks of uncertainty and anguish, Dad will finally start chemo on Monday. He is relieved that something is at last moving forward in a positive way.
He had a CT scan yesterday so that they have a starting point, he will do 3 cycles of therapy (chemo once a week for 3 weeks then one week off) and they will scan again to see where we are at.
I have noticed that he is feeling pain more now, which as I am sure you will understand, worries the hell out of me.
Anyway thinking positive the chemo can start to kick this thing in the pants on monday.

Forgot to say that Dad cant have the steriods that are there to try and stop the sickness as they will affect his diabetes, so some other form of medication will be supplied for him.
I just wanted to wish your dad all the very best with his chemo. Apart from the steroids thay do give you all sorts of other anti sick meds. But not all chemo causes sickness. So fingers crossed he has no side effects.
It is a very worrying time for you all I know. But remember your friends are not far away on here.
Keep intouched and let us know how things are going.
