I'm glad things around here are so uneventful that I forgot to update the blog! Chemo treatment #3 went well. My dad did take a couple of doses of his anti-nausea medicine the first day after the treatment, but that was about it. He says he is very tired, and has been sleeping more. One thing my brother and I have been saying is that in a way, my dad's lifestyle even before he got sick is actually pretty conducive to recovery. He was already physically disabled, and didn't have a 9-5 job. He volunteered at a clothing store affiliated with the local hospital, but that was only a few hours a week. So now if he is tired from the chemo he can just sleep. The side effects aren't derailing his life as much as they might for someone who is younger and working.
I do expect the last three treatments of this cycle to be harder on him than the previous three. I guess we will find out soon enough!
