The second week was defintely harder on his body than the first week after chemo. When the home health nurse weighed him last Wed he had lost about 12 pounds since the previous Wed. He was extremely tired and his body just ached. Thankfully his fever broke later in the week. His appt on Friday reflected a significant increase in his white blood count. YEAH! His next round of chemo is next Tuesday [July 31st].
He had an appt in Nashville this morning. They have scheduled to remove his temporary stent in his esophagus/stomach and remove his feeding tube on Aug. 8 at the Sarah Cannon facility in Nashville.
On a side note, Jennifer just received a picture of a handsome bald man on her phone! After realizing his hair is now starting to fall out, Glen walked into a shop and sped up the balding process a bit. Peggy texted her that his new look is actually 'kinda cute'. Jennifer agrees and says 'Bald is the new Black'.
As always, thanks for the prayers, well wishes and acts of kindness.
