Dad was chosen for only chemo so he will have chemo once every 3 weeks starting this Friday. He will have six "rounds" of the Taxotere chemo drug - so this will last 18 weeks. At this time, I think this was the best option he could have gotten because of his trip.
For those of you that do not know, if all goes well and he feels up to it, Dad will be leaving April 1st for his annual mission trip. This year he is going to Louisiana. He will again help Habitat for Humanity rebuild some of the damage of Hurricane Katrina. My sister Heidi will be going with him. They are flying rather than taking the bus with the rest of the people from the church. I am glad they decided to do that, I do not think 18 hours on a bus would have helped him at all. I hope he is being realistic about what he can handle. I know he looks forward to this trip every year so I am glad he is plaaning on it and I hope he feels up to going.
That is all I know at the moment, I will find out more soon.

I don't know your dad personally but have been following your blog. I can't imagine carrying the load you do and yet most of the time you have such a positive outlook. Thanks for the time you put into the blog. I will continue to keep you, your dad and family in my prayers.
