Today was a very tough day for everyone. The good news is that Dad starts chemotherapy tomorrow. This is about a 5 hour process and will hopefully keep the fluid from building up in his abdomen. He is scheduled to go in for 2 of the IV drugs every 3 weeks and taking one of them orally twice a day. Dr. Kang was great today and was very willing to answer all of our questions...no matter how crazy we may have sounded. Dad's "drug dealer" is Kay. (Kay will give him his treatments and make sure he is keeping up on his pills.) She seems very nice and tough as well. Just what we need!
We ask that you continue to send your thoughts and prayers as Barry begins the next chapter in this journey. We are all very tired after today and ask that you please allow a couple of days for the family to have some time together and allow Barry to get settled into his treatment schedule. His immune system will take a beating during this treatment. Please do not send plants or flowers at this time...although remember, he does love hearing from you on this site. If you are planning a visit, please make sure that you call first. Also, because of the challenges on his immune system, if you are sick are think you are getting sick, we ask that you please postpone your visit until you are feeling better.
All of your love, support, and prayers definitely helped us all through today.
God Bless You All!
Glen
