Round one done.....

Dad completed the first round of chemo yesterday and he came through with flying colors! No side effects, as in he has not had the vomiting and hair loss. ( darn, pam and I wanted to get him a big floppy hat! ) He just has to continue the radiation treatments until mid February. He will go through another round of chemo on the 26Th of January. He mentioned that the two drugs they are giving him are Cisplatin and Etoposide. I am not familiar with them so I will dig up the info on the net.
Other than dad being tired from juggling work and treatments he is in good spirits. His dog, miss mandy, is at his side being his nurse. She keeps a very good eye on him and snuggles with him at nap time.
