Hey Everyone,
Sorry I haven’t written in the blog lately… there been couple developments with dad.
Towards the end Dad’s treatment, he could still swallow, but was having a harder time eating. The docs said if he still have the issue in January to let them know. Well, he is still having issues swallowing. In fact, I personally think its gotten worse than better. I would guess it’s probably from the scar tissue from the radiation. There is a possibly dad might have to have some surgery where they may have to widen the esophagus.
In addition, he has this constant cough. At first, we thought it may be from him getting a cold. However, the cold meds aren’t doing anything and we are really worry about it. Finally, Dad is still extremely tired. It’s been almost 2 months now since his last treatment. He should have his energy back by now. As yall know, dad works nights. So, when he gets up in the afternoon, he been going out to the living room and tends to take cat naps on the lounge chair until supper and then he gets ready for work.
Long story short, we brought this up to the MD Anderson doctors. So, they have dad going down to MD Anderson on Friday to get some test done. Please keep my dad in your prayers.
