Nothing new

We still haven't heard anything more about the medical help we're trying to get to continue RelUnrelated's cancer treatment. It's frustrating waiting to hear something, knowing that the masses could start growing again and potentially make him very ill again. We did get the results from his pulmonary tests and they were a bit disappointing. His lung capacity back in May of last year was 97% despite how ill he was. It is now at 75% due to the chemotherapy. This explains his shortness of breath going up a flight of stairs. He can never have that form of medication again, the oncologist has already stated that. I'm hoping that we will hear something soon. It may be my imagination, but the node on his neck that had gotten so large appears to be making an appearance again, at least to me. It's probably because I'm worrying about it. 

We did get some good news though, his oldest daughter is planning her wedding for March, so that is good news. I'm hoping that we will be able to attend without him being sick. I probably don't say it enough, but both of his daughters are awesome and the best anyone could ask for. I try to let them know that too. I'm glad that I can be a part of their father's life and theirs, no matter how small a part it is. Hopefully we get some more good news, and the sooner the better. Cancer is a very tiring thing.
