Dad had another treatment this week even though his platelet counts were down. He went to Cape every day for 4 days prior to his treatment to get shots to raise his white blood count. His oncologist is thinking about decreasing the dose of chemo by 25 percent. Dad will get another CT scan in a couple of weeks. The results of the scan will give us a better of idea of what treatment option to pursue. Hopefully the cancer has not spread.

My grandmother (dad’s mom) fell last week and broke her shoulder and hip. Dad and his siblings have been staying with her at the hospital in Cape. It sounds like the doctors are trying to get her stable enough to perform surgery tomorrow morning.
