Dad had a 2nd round of chemo on 6/5 and they sent him home again with a pump. Then my brother dropped him off again this morning and I met him over there. He had an IV medication that is a long lasting nausea medication.
I guess I did not ask enough questions, so I had them make me a calendar for June. The chemo is every two weeks, but its 2 day chemo. He has to go every week to get an IV injection of Erbitux which attacks the tumor and cancer and helps shrink them.
He went home today to rest and next week he goes for some blood work and another round of Erbitux. The we start all over again.
It's a lot to ask of him right now I feel. Ask him to eat right when he is not hungry. Ask him to quit smoking when he has the most stress in his life. Ask him to be positive when he is scared shitless. And above all ask him to fight for his life even when he feels like shit.
