A change in plans...I guess the chemo won't start until next week. Les had his 5th radiation treatment this morning and around noon had the port put in. He is extremely tired, but not having much pain. He was quite nauseous (sp?) this morning. He has no appetite, but did eat some peanut butter toast and fruit around 3pm. He will need to be on a high calorie/high protein diet for the immediate future...there goes the heart healthy diet mom's had him on for years. He secretly smiled at the news.
We're off to Judy's in a while. They are still getting all his meds figured out. We are somewhat concerned with how weak he is. Radiation will happen Thursday and Friday at 2pm. Dr. Tarantolo will meet with us after Friday's appt. to discuss chemo. Please continue to pray for strength and that he tolerates the radiation/chemo as it begins next week.

It's hard to believe I am at loss for words. That would make my brother happy!!! Your family has always been a part of my life and has always been so special to me! I loved our "get-to-gethers" although your Dad wasn't always the best at "choosing" a location that was equal in "car time!" I can still hear that low laugh of his as my Dad was teasing him. Thank you for keeping up with this blog site. You all will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers!
