My father had his first chemo today. I have no words to express the fear we felt last night anticipating the worst today. They did not give him a full dose of the chemo because of the concerns they had of him not being able to tolerate it. But he did exceptionally well. He's had no negative reaction as of yet to the treatment and was talkative and in good spirits all day today.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and your prayers. I know he can't be cured of this insidious disease, but if we can just have him for a little while longer in relatively good health and quality of life we are very grateful.
Angels held his hand today and I thank God for this.
So glad to hear the better news about your father, Elena .... and that you've been able to spend more time with him.
ReplyDeleteI've passed a little something on to you .... may make you smile a little too .... go check it out on my blog. :o)
So glad your father is in good spirits and not suffering any ill side effects.
ReplyDeleteWill say a prayer for you and your dad and family. So good to know he did well.
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry for your circumstances with your father. It is so very painful to watch a loved one dying in front of us and be able to do nothing except love them. I do hope for him that he will tolerate the procedures he will endure enough to make them worth it. I pray for your peace.
