Pop continues to receive chemo therapy every week. I took him today for his appointment. He has been tolerating it with minimal side effects. His only complaint continues to be the dry skin and itchiness that goes along with it.

He is scheduled for his repeat CT scan in two weeks. They will determine if the chemo has been effective in stopping his tumors from any further growth.

Pop had a nice visit last week as all his brothers and sisters gathered at his apartment for some family time. He actually said that he was committed to keeping a closer relationship with them.

Thanks to those who call Pop to offer him words of support and encouragement.
