Allan went to see Dr. Dalal yesterday. His counts are ok but he lost 4 lbs! The oncology office gave us 6 bottles of Ensure which we will give him in milkshakes for snacks or when he does not want to eat. Dr. Dalal told us that Allan will only be getting the 6 rounds of 3 weeks each of chemo and then it will just be a check to see how he is doing every month. The dr. is hoping that this chemo will take care of the cancer. He told us that IF it comes back or gets worse he will have to go to a new chemo regime. Allan did good at work this weekend and even though he is tired he is doing great. Lisa went to get her precious boys last night and will bring them back here on Thurs night. Cant' wait to see them!!! Please pray that Allan's appetite comes back so he will eat more. We have been giving him fresh fruit and veggies along with pasta and lots of tomato products but the smallest meal just fills him up for hours. We are trying to find the perfect balance for him of meals that help his body and gives him energy and stamina. We leave in less than a week for CA!!!
