Pop's upcoming appointments

I just got back from seeing Pop. He is still dealing with the side effects of chemotherapy. He has been struggling with a headache, diarrhea and abdominal cramps all day. I spoke with the nurse from Fox Chase Cancer Center and she said that these are expected side effects. As long as he’s not dehydrated, there’s not much else to give him. I can’t imagine having him go through this every time he gets chemo!

On a lighter note, Pop had a nice visit with grandma and Tio Amador this afternoon. Of course, Jim, Tom Patti and myself continue taking turns visiting him and sitting with him frequently.

We received his expected schedule for the next two months. Of course, this is all depending on how he tolerates chemo. For those that are interested. Here it is:

Thursday, 4/27
9:30 bloodwork
10:30 chemotherapy infusion

3:00 Follow-up with Oncologist (cancer doctor)
