They didn’t give dad a treatment today because of his blood levels. They admitted him to Southeast hospital this morning after meeting with his oncologist because he was complaining of chest pains. He’s been in and out of the hospital the last week with various problems but was never admitted. The oncologist said the chest pains had nothing to do with the cancer so he wanted to admit dad to check him out. Uncle Craw is with mom and dad at the hospital. Hopefully it’s indigestion and they’ll let him go home. The chest pain thing is new as of last night. It is not a symptom of the medicines or the cancer and was not expected. Unfortunately, trips to the hospital and the ever changing news are becoming a part of day to day life. It sucks, there’s really no way to sugar coat it. I would give anything if dad didn’t have to go through this. He doesn’t deserve it. He’s the nicest person I know. This cancer is some bad stuff.
