Dad has his appointment with the cancer doctor yesterday. After reviewing all the options, the potential risks and benefits they decided that they were going to give chemo a try. So, they are scheduled for a series of treatments over the next 3 weeks on Tuesday mornings. They will run the first series and see how he fairs and then they will continue on with the rest of the treatment (a 6-month run) if he responds ok to what he is taking now.
Christy & I were there just for a few minutes last night and he was WAY out of it. He had plenty of morphine in his system as well as a chemo treatment that afternoon. He was basically drunk. But it was ok, we weren't staying for long.
On another note, Tony has been having a real issue with being so far away and its really been beating him up being so far from his family during this time. So, Cathy, knowing the stress her husband has been under called Tony's old boss from So Cal to see if he would be willing to employ Tony for a month or a few weeks or two months. His old boss said he was happy to do so especially under the circumstances. So, she then called his current employer to ask for a leave of absense and they agreed as well. To top it all off, she had hit a casino a few days prior. She dropped $3 into a machine and won $400! That pays for a plane ticket. So, Tony will be coming down here for an extended period of time and will be able to continue to make the money he needs because his old boss will put him to work.
Pretty neat stuff. I will keep posting as things continue to happen. -- John
