Hi, everyone.
First, thank you for all of your kind thoughts and messages. I am not yet checking this board regularly, so I hope it is okay if I don't respond right away. I think I am still having some "denial" days when I try just not to think about everything, but these are becoming more few and far between.
Dad's oncology practice offered him Avastin, but he turned it down. He was just worried about the potential side effects and, probably more, fear of the unknown. He decided just to repeat the chemo he had last time, which was pretty mild and didn't make him sick.
I have always said I understand this is his disease and that I will support any choice he makes. I do support this choice, and I understand his thinking. However, I think I am still a little sad about his choice, I guess I selfishly just want one more thing to hope about, if that makes sense.
Mom said Dad is really tired. I feel pretty certain this is the cancer causing it.
I'm going home Wed. through Friday to see him and take mom out to lunch or something.
Thanks for listening! Flo
