We are now more than halfway!!
Here comes a little update for this week.
My dad has now done 4 weeks of treatment!! That means 4 chemotherapy and 20 radiotherapy sessions and he is now more than halfway through his treatment! He now got 3 chemotherapy and 14 radiotherapy sessions left.
He is in a little bit of pain but not too much and can still eat even if it’s a bit of a struggle. He has not lost any weight either this week so that’s good. However, he talked to the doctor a couple of days ago and he wants to put in a gastric feeding tube, a PEG. He is doing this as a precaution as they believe it will become a struggle to eat within the next week or so, and this is therefore an easy way to get plenty of nutrition, which my dad needs.

If you want some simple info on a PEG please check below.
I talked to my dad earlier today and he is in a good fighting spirit, even if a bit tired.
I love you so much dad and well done so far!! Keep it up.
