A Weekend Road Trip

Tomorrow we are going on a weekend road trip to Conway, SC to visit son David and wife Pat at their new home. It will be great to see them again and I get to play with their dogs, my cousins, who I haven't seen in quite awhile. We will also get to play tourist in Myrtle Beach. We are really looking forward to getting away from Fair Play, SC for awhile. It seems like we have been here forever. However, I have made some good friends here in Fair Play and enjoy playing with them.

In my previous post I mentioned that Dad was going to have some surgery. However, that surgery was canceled as the surgeons said it would be too risky at this time. It seems the first rounds of Dad's chemo treatments did not substantially shrink the tumor and it is now wrapped around a pulmonary artery. The surgeons recommended that Dad undergo 6 weeks of radiation along with more chemo treatments to see it they could shrink or kill off the tumor. Dad will begin these treatments next Tuesday.

I will keep you updated on Dad's progress.
