chemo begins

Hey, this is Michelle. Dad's laptop/internet isn't working so well at the hospital. Hopefully they can fix they problem soon. Until then, I thought I would fill you in.

John checked into the hospital Thursday afternoon. Chemo started Friday with a BIG dose and some pretty nasty stuff. So I'm sure you can imagine how he feels. Though every complaint or ailment he may have, they seem to have a pill for. You could probably get a pill if you had a hangnail. ;) Today's chemo along with the next 4 days is a different chemo that he will actually receive 3 times a day. This is all through an IV of course.

He tells me he enjoys the staff and they are very friendly. He does NOT recommend the scrambled eggs though!
They three people who are a big part of his team are: Dr. Ayash, Steve the pharmacist and Kathleen who coordinates everything. I keep them in my prayers that they are are given good guidance while taking care of my dad.

chow!
