New Chemo

Hi Everybody

This will be a very quick update, as my school workload is starting to quickly pile up!

My dad has started his new chemo treatment last week, Wednesday. The new treatment is one dose administered at the hospital every 3 weeks (so long as his blood counts are strong enough to take the chemo). So far my dad's been VERY tired. He's been sleeping for most of the day since his treatment. He's also in quite a bit of pain, and still not eating. The side effects from this new chemo will likely be stronger than the last one. 

Please continue to pray that he'll show some improvement, i know it's still very early, but if he doesn't eat, he wont have enough strength for the next dose of chemo. His back has been causing him a great deal of pain, which is affecting his breathing, and appetite as well.

Also, please pray for my mom, as she's not getting enough sleep. She's been tending to dad in the middle of the night whenever he needs anything, since he still cant get up or move too much on his own. 

Thanks,
God Bless
