Dad completed his 4th round of chemo this week with flying colors. He has 2 more rounds to go. He gets pretty sick after the treatments with stomach pain but that goes away after a few days. He saw Dr. Flynn (his oncologist) on Wednesday and the Dr. was pretty happy with the results so far. He even approved a trip to Arizona for mom and dad in March. It will be sometime after March 16 but before April 3. This is the time between treatment 5 and 6. So lookout you folks in Arizona. The bald beauty will soon be back in the sun for a few days. (If you see him without a hat remind him to wear one so his scalp doesn't burn!!)
I'll post the exact dates of their trip once they have confirmed flights. They will be staying for about 10 days and then driving their car back to MN. My sister Bonnie will be traveling with them for the drive home. We don't think dad will have the stamina to drive too much. Hopefully his softball buddies and other friends will still be in Mesa to see him while he is there. He is really looking forward to making this trip. Thankfully the Dr. thought it would be ok because I think he would have gone anyway. He's pretty stubborn you know.
