Happenings
Hey this is Michelle. There really isn't much new stuff to say, which is why I haven't blogged much about things. My dad had a port installed into his shoulder/chest area so that they can put the chemo directly into it everytime rather then having to poke him everytime. The surgery went well and will be getting his 3rd round of chemo this friday. He is scheduled to get his chemo every friday til the week of Christmas then he will have a rest week and then another PET scan on the 3oth of Dec. and the reading will be done on the 31st. At least thats how it is scheduled for now. So when we get those results we will know if the chemo is working or not. At least that's what I understand is going on. It seems as if the pain hasn't been as bad for him, so that might be a good sign. The chemo is affecting him a little bit, but not as badly as most people think when they hear about chemo. My dad has taken short term disability and is down to working 4 hrs a day and making sure he gets plenty of rest, excercise, and good nurishment.....oh ya and he has a little less stress with the lack of work he is having to do, which is what we all want! Anyway, I'll do my best with keeping up with everything and hopefully where I slack, my dad will make up for.

New Blog
Hey this is Michelle. I just wanted to let everyone know that this is going to be the new site I will use to blog about my dad. I have also added him as an author so that he has a place to blog about the things that are going on. So hopefully you'll be hearing from us both. Between the both of us hopefully we will keep you all informed.
