Dad has completed the first round of the maintenance treatment. The doctor had mentioned that the effects of the chemo are cumulative - like water dripping into a cup, every drop adds up until the cup overflows. We're starting to see that as Dad's red blood cell count has dropped and brought with it a definite lack of energy. There are a couple of options to counter this, including a blood transfusion or a break in treatment. His next appointment is next week and we'll be exploring our options to bring back Dad's "perky". :) Other than that, we've (thankfully) had no other major developments or excitement.
Thanks again for your prayers and support, and we hope you're looking forward to a joyous Easter as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord.
