Dad says he's feeling "peachy chemo" these days. He is so strong and has been handling the chemo fairly well so far. He has had no nausea or vomiting from his treatments, the only real side effect he's had is some sensitivity to cold in his fingers and hands. Today they were able to drain his abdomen again, they removed a little more than 2 liters of fluid. Hopefully the chemo will kick in and stop the cancer from producing this fluid that's making him so uncomfortable.
He's been craving certain foods, Mexican food and spaghetti. We've all listened and Tuesday night five of our family members made spaghetti for him...not to mention the fact that we're on a first name basis with the Taqueria. We've been catering to his every wish, god bless Shirley!
Grandpa and Grandma (Barry's parents) are on their way here from New Mexico, Dad is looking forward to seeing his dad and mom. His spirits are high and he really is feeling better than he has in weeks, he's on the phone and just told his mom "I feel like a million bucks tonight". Dad is really enjoying all of the time he's been able to spend with his family and friends over the past few weeks. Thanks for all of your support!
A NOTE FROM BARRY & SHIRLEY:
We thank all of our family and friends for all of their support in each and every way! Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes! God bless you all, and good tidings.

Heres an old joke that I think you'll appreciate... do you know how Canada was named?
well a long time ago, the entire population of Canada got together and had Bob and Doug MacKenzie draw letters out of a tuque to come up with the name and here's what happened...Bob pulled the first letter and he announced it "C, eh!" then Doug pulled the second letter and he announced it "N, eh!" ....i think you can see where this is going!!! ha ha ha ha I'm sure its an old joke for you but i still crack up over it! lol
Take care Barry and I'll be seeing you soon.
Glen keep up the great work on this awesome site, brother!
