My dad saw Dr Suki yesterday and actually gave us some good news. He said that the tumors are shrinking a little. I can't remember what test he said they could do but the results show it went down from 8.7 to 8 so that is some good progress. He also said since my dads weight is fluctuating that he is going to get home health come out and set up a pump that feeds him all night. We will see how that works.
My dad's company said they were going to keep him on full pay and full benefits until chemo is over but yesterday when I called his HR department they said they could no longer do that since it is going to be a while. I just wish they had not given my mom false hope. Now they are going to send my mom some paperwork on short term disability and get that going. He will still have benefits but he will have to pay for them.
I am going out tomorrow to take care of him since mom will be working all day tomorrow, so I will be able to give more of an update on his progress.
He has good weeks and bad weeks. The days following chemo are horrible, then you see him start to get a little better and then off to chemo to feel bad again. It's suck a whirlwind of emotions.
