And moving on...

Now that the radiations treatments are over, it's time to move on!  Or rather, move back to the original plan of chemotherapy.  Well, not quite the original - Dad had a skin reaction to the first treatment so we met with the doctor this week to discuss alternative options. 

The new therapy will still involve two drugs, swapping out the one that caused the issue.  It comes with a slightly different three week schedule: 

• Week 1:  Both drugs
• Week 2:  A single drug 
• Week 3:  Rest  

No prep medications/vitamins for this version and the expected side effect remain mostly the same and - hopefully - relatively mild, peaking 7-10 days after treatment.

We started Week 1 earlier this week.  Please continue to keep Dad in your prayers as we prepare to move into Week 2 next week.  Thanks to all of you who offer support through your prayers, kind words, and actions.  You are truly loved and appreciated.
