Dad received chemo yesterday. His blood levels all looked good with the exception of his sugar, which was a bit high. He has lost a few more pounds, which has put his total weight loss at around 65 pounds. The Thursday following his Tuesday treatments is always his toughest day. He usually experiences fever spikes, significant fatitue, and complete loss of appetite.
He is looking forward to this weekend when he will make the annual family pilgrimage to southwest Missouri to go deer hunting with all the Bixler men. He will return Sunday and receive his ultrasound Monday. This is the first CATscan the oncologist has ordered since dad began chemo. Obviously, we are all a bit anxious to hear the results, and are optimistic that the tumor has stopped growing.
