This week’s visit to the doctor for Dad’s regular blood work and checkup brought a mix of feelings. The blood work came back positive, and health-wise, things seemed okay, but there was concern over his weight gain. The doctor’s advised no more weight gain, adding another layer of worry to our pile. The last three days of chemo went surprisingly smooth, with Dad doing an amazing job staying hydrated. But then, come Saturday, he hit a wall—feeling incredibly weak and a bit under the weather, he had to succumb to taking a nausea pill and spent the day resting. The next round of chemo is lined up for the 3rd to the 5th of March.
Flipping the page to older updates, there’s a hint of frustration. It seems Dad tried to put on a brave face in front of Randy, pushing himself too far, ignoring his body’s signals, and ultimately paying the price by feeling unwell all weekend. This round of chemo was tough on him, feeling sick throughout the treatment and the weekend. To add to our concerns, his prostate count has risen since the last check three months ago. A biopsy is planned for the days he’s off chemo, and we’re anxiously waiting for more information.
Our next appointment for blood work and a cancer checkup is on February 17th, with the chemo treatments scheduled from the 18th to the 20th. We’re hanging in there, doing our best to manage day by day. – Mom
