(Dad's powerful chemo drugs on his IV pole)Yesterday, Dad received his first chemotherapy treatment. I met him at the hospital where the nurse gave us explicit instructions on how dad needs to take care of himself during chemo. This includes drinking a lot of water, gargling, checking his temperature and other miscellaneous things to make sure he stays as healthy as possible.
He then received two chemotherapy drugs. Each drug took one hour to be infused through his IV. He then received another "bone building" drug - aiming at repairing the bone that has been damaged with tumors.
During the 2 plus hour treatment - Dad watched sports, flirted with the nurses and took a nap. He continues to feel well, but these long days at the hospital are making him very tired. Hopefully a long weekend of rest will help with that.
