Round 2 Chemo - Complete

I just talked with my dad and he finished his second round of chemotherapy today.  He spent the afternoon at Siteman and had blood drawn, a small (but powerful) dosage of more chemotherapy and then they took off his small bag of chemotherapy that he has had since Friday.  Fortunately, he is feeling pretty well.  Keeping our fingers crossed, but no nausea yet!  The last dose of chemo that he received today must of been some powerful stuff because he said he has no sense of taste.. he said his taste buds are gone and when he eats everything is just bland... even spicy soup that he was having for dinner.  These medicines just amaze me!  Thanks to my Uncle Tom for spending the day with dad and taking him to Siteman... we all truly appreciate it! Now dad will start his 10 days of shots.  It's an ever going process... but if this process makes dad well and rids his body of cancer... then proceed on!  Thanks for your continued prayers!  Dad's next chemotherapy treatment is scheduled for October 7th.  He will get a PET scan before that treatment to see if the chemo is working.... please pray specifically for this!
