The latest

Well... as of today my dad is in the hospital for the 3rd time. It seems that after each chemo appointment he runs a really high fever. After last weekend they told us that it the fever is mainly from his Chemo treatment but to keep them informed. This time he was running another fever and we tried to tell him to run it out for a day to see if it will just go away but he didn't want to so once again he is in there. I told my mom to tell him that if he just want to go back and see his cute little nurse we could arrange that he didn't need to be admitted. Hee Hee!! 

Overall things are going well. His tumor cell number is a lot lower and keeps going down. That is great news. We will be having another CT scan next month sometime to see if the tumors themselves have shrunk. I keep my fingers crossed that they have. My dad seems to be hanging in there but I know that he is a  little scared and he is in a lot of pain. After two months of treatment they onocologist has given us permission to take him to Oregon to visit his brother. He is really excited for that but doesn't want to go in the winter so may need to wait till after the first of the year. I have volunteered to go and be with them . I know I know what a giver huh lol!!! It will be nice to see my aunt, uncle, my cousin Anna and her family. I miss them a lot. 
 
I will keep you posted of the next developments as I hear them. Thanks for listening
