I talked to Dad about his new Chemo treatments. He's getting Chemo on a weekly basis, now. He will have treatments once a week for 4 weeks, then take 2 weeks off. Then, 4 more weeks of treatment, and 2 weeks off, etc. Dad only has one Kidney, so they can't give him the full strength treatments - they have to be broken out into smaller doses. He's extremely tired - can take up to 30 minutes to get enough energy to put his shoes on. The dreaded diarrhea is also giving him trouble. However, other then that, he's feeling pretty good and still has a positive attitude. He's working as often as he can. He doesn't qualify for disability, yet. I'm not sure how disability works when you have Cancer. If any followers know the answer, please post and let me know. I would think that disability would kick in to cover the time he is unable to work?
It is so hard to believe that 4 months have gone by since the start of Dad's treatments. The Cancer is smaller then it was 4 months ago, so we're feeling pretty good about things. He's definitely heading in the right direction.
Please continue to pray for Dad's health, strength, and a positive attitude.
Much love,
Shanon
