Its me again I got kicked off and never finished my message. I didn't even
get to spell check it. LOL
Any way my dad has gum disease and he was required to visit the dentist and
have any necessary treatment prior to his stem cell in August. His dentist
said his gums never looked so good. Has any one experienced this after
chemo.??? I was just curious. A real small thing but it made my dads day.
With warm regards

Hello Lillian and Everyone!
Miss a few days and WOW!!! Lots of catching up to do. I have been at the
hospital with my dad. He was admitted due to a high fever and is very
neutrapenic again. this has been extremely frustrating because the BMT unit
is full. Therefore dad had to go to the other cancer unit where the nurses
are not trained for chemo. We are taking shifts to make sure dad is getting
the required care he needs.
I live 1 1/2 hours away and it is having it's toll on me. I have 4 children
under the age of 8 and the art of balancing is becoming more and more
difficult. As so many of you have shared, I too am very close to my father.
His main request has been to see me daily. I am finding this more of a
challenge now that the kids are out of school. Thank you Jesus for my
understanding husband. My dad and I have always been close and I think he
feels he will be okay if I am there(somethimes I feel the same).
I have cut back and only vist 4 - 5 times a week now and usually stay half
the day instead of all day and night. He realizes I have other
responsibilities but I feel guilty when I am not there. Any way my heart is
right there with everyone who is going throuygh this similiar experience.
I do have a strange question for everyone: My dad has had periodontal gu
