His cancer is stable -it isn't growing which is a good thing but it isn't shrinking either, just the same. The doctor changed his schedule again. Dad will be having chemo every other week and he will be getting the full dosage. The weeks that he has had chemo it wasn't at 100% so we are doing every other week. He will start on a chemo pill the next time we go - I forget the name but is a kissing cousin to the drug Patrick Swayze is taken - but it will coincide with the chemo. The doctor said it won't prolong his life but it may give him an extra couple of weeks. We will take what we can get - you know!

He also had been put on blood thinner because he has a small blood clot in his stomach area which is causing his stomach problems. And he is on another medicine to help with his white blood counts in between chemo to get them back up. So more medicine I know he is so excited.

Unfortunately he lost weight so I am on him to eat more, but he wasn't eating that much because of it hurting so hopefully this blood thinner will help everything out.

So here we are just stable! I guess that is good news but I was hoping to hear oh my gosh, it is a miracle it shrank and you are fine! - Fat chance huh.....

All dad's brothers and sisters are on their yearly trip this weekend - they call it the "Seniors Trip" so hopefully he feels well enough that he will make it at least for a day. They only go a couple of hours away and just for the weekend - so maybe he will be able to make it.

Tonya and Karen made it to Florida - I'll get an update on Uncle Wally later.

Much love to all,
