Journal entry by Jillian Denton —
We've got ourselves a Birthday Boy today! :)
Not too much to report as far as an update since the last post. Round 2 of chemo began on Tuesday after getting the "all clear" from the oncologist. Dad returns to the treatment center today to disconnect from the chemo pump. Then we wait and see how he responds to all the drugs and chemicals flowing through his body and hope/pray for good days until Round 3 begins. Daily life is still a challenge figuring out side effects of certain medications vs their intended benefits, managing prescriptions, forcing nutrition along with dealing with fatigue and discomfort. As I've said before and will continue to say for the rest of my life, cancer sucks.
On a positive, my mom's brother and wife (Dennis & Shirley) are in town for a quick visit and happen to be here for Dad's birthday. That's a nice little added bonus and welcome distraction from the day to day routine.
I've had a few folks reach out asking for Mom & Dad's address so I thought I'd provide it here for anyone who wants it:
417 Crossway Lane
Holly Springs, NC 27540
Love & hugs to all-
Jill/everyone
