Dad had another treatment this week and the tough part of the round is over. Dad's been extremely tired, but still managed to have enough energy to celebrate his 83rd birthday with the family on Thursday (11/19). Happy Birthday, Dad!
After three rounds of treatment, the next step is to evaluate the effectiveness of this regimen. We had good news about that - the insurance company approved the PET scan. Dad will have the scan next week, then review it with Dr. Alley before the next treatment to discuss any changes or adjustments needed to the plan.
In case you're wondering...the schedule didn't work out this week so we don't have a Philly Food Truck update! But I'm cautiously optimistic that the next visit will be more productive. :)
Well, that's all the update for this week. As we move into Thanksgiving, we are thankful for Dad, for the doctors and nurses who provide such excellent care, and that we have the ability to access it. We are so thankful for faithful friends like you who support us in so many ways. And, above all, we thank God for His gift of salvation and for being our shelter in the storm of life. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and the many blessings we've been provided!
Oh, and if you get a chance...make sure to wish Dad a Happy Birthday!
