On Wednesday, I picked up dad and took him over to Kingwood for a round of Erbitux. He had to see Dr Suki first then we went on back. It was a pretty long day. Dad is still having a hard time getting comfortable and sleeping through the night. The doctor gave him some more pain medications and a new sleeping pill. Dad has dropped about 10 more pounds, he weighed in at 155 pounds. The doctor told him he has to gain weight or he will not be able to beat the cancer with chemo.
The schedule changed up a bit. It takes a bit to get used to all the routine of it. One week my dad goes for labs and then the next day a round of Erbitux and a few other IV's so he does not have a reaction. Then the next week its labs on Tuesday, Chemo on Wed-Friday, and a round of Erbitux. So much to keep up with. I can't imagine dealing with cancer alone.....
