March 4 Update

After some back and forth between Dad's Oncologists and Nephrologists, dialysis was started this afternoon. The hope is obviously that it will improve his kidney function, but that the process will decrease his fluid retention and level of confusion.

I mentioned the other day, it was obvious his hair was falling out so Mike shaved Dad's head yesterday.

Dad is in nadir - the point when his blood cells are their lowest point after chemo. We're told it lasts about a week.

This is a very difficult time in the treatment. Pretty much sucks. A lot. All we can do is hope and pray that it gets better for Dad very soon.
