Update on Dad

Dad had some good news and some bad news.  He came home from the hospital Friday, and the chemo seems to be working well.  Mom says he looks good and he sounds good, and actually seems stronger than before he started the treatment.  But they also found that the cancer is in his bone marrow, which is not good, and they have planned two more treatments in his series, so that there will be eight instead of six.  I think that means he’ll be finished somewhere around Christmas.  The worst part of the chemo is supposed to be 7-10 days after the treatment, which is around July 23, so he’ll need extra prayers then.  Plus that is the day my brother is having his back surgery, so please keep him in your prayers, too.

We will keep praying. I think the best news is that he can tolerate the treatment. Love u. V
