I just wanted to thank you all for your responses to my dad. His name is Tony
by the way.
Unfortunately he is not doing very well. He actually told me that he can't
wait to start the new chemo Gemicitabine on tuesday. Now who do you know that
looks forward to chemo. I figure he must really be hurting inside and looking
for any help he can get.
I don't mean to get too personal here/ but did anyone out there get very weak
to the point that you would stay in bed for weeks, not having the energy to
even shower or move around. It's so hard to be a caregiver because as much as
you want to help you really just don't know how bad they feel. Dad is just so
lifeless right now, it's scarey. It's to the point that if someone doesn't
bring him food, he'd sooner not eat or for that matter even take his pills.
My mother does the most. My brother and I are switching breakfast and lunch
service while my moms at work. Though he eats when we bring him food, not
like he used to but at least he's eating something.
I told him to try and sit outside for a while to get some fresh air, but he
just nods he's head, almost as if talking is to exhausting for him.
well i hope tnew chemo treatment works>
sorry about the rambleing, but I feel better.
feel well
dana
