Hi All, Dad's stay at Karmanos for this 4th treatment went pretty well. As with the last administration of these particular chemotherapy drugs his blood cell levels begin to drop before he was scheduled to leave the hospital. So the decision was made to keep him an extra day so that he could get another blood transfusion. Except for a few delays all went well and they made it home on Friday afternoon.
Before going to get his Neulasta shot on Saturday, he and Mom picked up my sister Natalie and my aunt Lois from the bus station. They are visiting from Tennessee for the week. My aunt Lois is who I call my 'auntie-mom'. Natalie and I spent all our summers in Tennessee, Uncle Milton and Aunt Lois' house was 'home base'.
Dad mentioned today that he could hardly feel the indentation of the tumor on the outside of his chest wall. He will have another CT scan and an echo cardiogram on Friday. We will know after these test what the next steps for treatment will be.
God Bless all of you. We love you.
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 107:20
