December 4, 2008

Just a quick update...Dad received his first gemcitabin treatment Tuesday, following two weeks off. Having the break last week allowed dad to enjoy Thanksgiving without experiencing as many side effects of the chemo. He has continued taking Tarceva daily (the chemo drug he takes orally). However, its associated side effects are not nearly as debilitating as those imposed by the gemcitabin.

He will have treatments the following three weeks and will receive another CAT scan the week after Christmas.

Hope you all are enjoying your holiday season. Take care.
