After Radiation, he went to Oncology for Chemo. He received an Antihistamine by mouth as well as by IV, a bag of Anti-Nausea medicine and 2 Chemo drugs: Taxol (Paclitaxel) and Carboplatin. The total Chemo treatment took approximately 3 hours to receive by IV - he will receive this one time per week. His next Chemo treatment will be on Wednesday - May 28.
PRAISES:
- Cancer Services will be picking Dad up at the house and transporting him to and from his Radiation appointments 4 days each week. This is a huge blessing considering the price of gas!! This will only require them to drive to town one day per week - on Chemo/Radiation Day.
- Dad did not have any allergic reactions today - his vital signs were very good and remained stable throughout the treatment - He feels good this evening.
PRAYER REQUEST:
- Side Effects will be minimal
- Dad's Health remains strong
- Complete Healing of his lungs

Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep yur hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Bumpa,
You keep telling how tough you are and boy you sure are. We are thankful for many things and you are at the top of the list. We can not wait to see you in June.
Lots of hugs and Kisses,
