Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share….my heart is so blessed! What compassionate hearts you all have!

Our time at the Mayo today went well. There was a bit of good news as when my dad was working thru the UofMN oncologist, she said he was not eligible to take the second drug that is taken along with GEM due to some measurement found in his blood that is kidney related. The Mayo was suggesting the same thing until his blood test today came back with a good reading, so they are going to incorporate cistantin(sp?? know this is not even close, but figure you know what I am talking about) into his chemo. He has no history of any kidney issues, so they were surprised UofMN test had the reading it did. They will continue to monitor to ensure trend consistent with results from today. He gets his port put in on Monday and chemo starts 8am on Tuesday. We had port care training today after meeting with oncologist.

He continues to be mentally and physically strong, great appetite and full of energy. I hear him on the phone right now talking/laughing with his 90+ year old golfing buddy about iron shafts and drivers. It is music to my ears.

A day at a time!

Thank you for your wisdom, care and support….you are so special!
