Sorry....still no dad.
Today was another rough one. The days are full of nausea. Dad & mom went to Shapes (no, it's not Curves where women workout in circuit training - it's the lab that cleans out dad's pick line & also does his blood work once a week) & then spent the remainder of the day at home relaxing. They tried to go to Home Depot, but dad didn't feel so hot so they headed home. They got more anti-nausea meds prescribed since this is not subsiding. Hopefully, they will put dad to sleep tonight & help his stomach calm down. He tried to eat a bit, but nothing was even decent to his taste buds nor was it kind to his stomach.
This is not surprising....the nurses & drs told mom & dad that his body hasn't had time to recuperate from all the destruction from the past chemo sessions, so his body's natural reaction is to reject the food.
On a brighter note...they scheduled his LAST chemo session! YEAH DADDY!!! It's almost over! It is scheduled for February 5th. Yes, he'll be done with the most difficult horrible part in 4 weeks time! Radiation is supposed to be a little more gentle (not sure the English is correct on this, but I'm sure my sweet younger brother could give me a English lesson :) - I'm MUCH better at math) on dad's body (because of where they tumor is located it shouldn't disrupt his insides).
Dad'll let all know when the chaos in his stomach is over....it'll make his days so much more enjoyable! Lots of love to you daddy, mommy, & all in "blog land!"

Ron,
Thinking about you...hoping to hear that you are feeling better soon. Love ya, Linda
Tough it out,
Suck it up,
Shake it off.
You are a hellavulot stronger than this thing, Dad. You will prevail - of that, I have no doubt. Your strength, uncanny willingness to fight through everything, and your unmatched stubborness leaves no doubt in anyone's mind.
I am always thinking of you and Mom.
Love,
Michael
Hi ron,
I was visiting with brother BC this week when he informed me about your battle.
Thought a Athena Sigma Nu brother, Sterling Allen, better check in.
I am sitting at AGRI-TIMES NW world HQ in Pendleton. I own and publish an ag newspaper.(never know what we will do when we grow up).
I am blessed to be married to Cheryl, teacher, for 30 years.
Brainwashed two kids to attend OSU. Megs graduated, and Riley in a Senior in the SAE Frat.
I was in banking for 19 years before purchasing this ag newspaper.
Yes, I moved back to my roots in Athena, just 1/4 mile from Bob Johns farm shop.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Have a good day!
sterling
