Today we had our first doctor's appointment since the end of the first cycle. The doctors were pleased/surprised to be able to see how the tumor has shrunk. (Dad's tumor is 'inside' his chest, however, there is a portion of the tumor which protrudes out.) This part is visibly smaller. Translation: The tumor is responding to the chemo; it is shrinking! The doctors mentioned that all his white and red blood cell counts are good, his liver and kidney functions are good. No major side effects...Her words paraphrased- your body withstood the treatment.
This was a BIG DAY!!! Dad also had his barber cut his hair down, waaaay low. There was evidence that it was beginning to leave... I have to say that he was somewhat apprehensive about this side effect, but he did it. He even went down in his stock and found a few hats that compliment his new look. We laughed alot.
Dad and Harry ended the day with their normal social-political-economic debate....my life married to a conservative and the daughter of a liberal... Life Is Good.
O Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. Psalm 30:2
