Dad had an EKG, an Echocardiogram and a stress test on his heart. All came back normal. In fact, the doctor said that there is no blockage and even though my dad is still in A-fib, his heart is like a 22 year old. The results go back to the chemo Dr. Dad should be allowed to get his 3rd round of chemo on the 31st.

Dennis went to Dr. at MD Anderson today for a routine ck-up Dennis has had some more pressure on his chest after 2nd Chemo treatment so the Dr. wants him to go to his heart Dr. and get a stress test to make sure that everything is OK with his heart. He was suppose to have chemo today but they postpone it till he gets a stress test and the results come in. His next chemo treatment is on the 31st and I think they are going to keep that one there. But he was schedule for a pet scan on the 10th of Jan. now that will probably be pushed back because they like to have 4 treatments done with before they run that test again. Anyhow hope the stress test comes back OK because if the chemo is interfering with his heart he might have to change chemo or stop it all together. So say a prayer that the stress test goes great and that his heart is not being affected by the chemo.

He went to his 2nd Chemo treatment so far so good. He gets his pump off today then the nausea will start for a couple days to a week or so. He noticed yesterday he is loosing a few strands of hair from his head. Until he starts loosing more or it starts thinning out more he will not shave it. He is getting tired, yesterday he laid down in bed most of the day. He said he wasn’t sleepy but tired, but every time I checked on him he was asleep. So far he hasn’t loss any weight but starting to become more tired. We won’t know how the chemo is actually working until Jan when he gets another pet scan. Keep the prayers coming in as they are helping. God Bless each of you.
