Dad finished the third round of chemo on Thursday. He's half done!!!! Three to go. He went in on Friday to get a shot to boost his white cell count. Hopefully that will help him so he does not get so sick after the treatments. The nurse said he looks good and is tolerating the chemo very well. He likes having the port for infusions so his hand does not get so sore and he is free to move around better. The treatments go for three days in a row. The first day takes 6 hours the second day 4 hours and about the same on the third day. Having the port just makes the entire experience a little better.
Steve and Peggy arrived yesterday so we had a small impromptu party for dad's birthday last night. The official party is tonight with more family attending. Cousin Jay Berge and his wife are coming to the party too. Jay sent dad some great pictures of some bad hair days for dad back in the late 50's. No hair doesn't seem so bad after seeing those photos!!! I'll try to get them posted on the site.
