May 19 - Chemo begins

chemo was scheduled for monday, tuesday and wednesday. after treatments on monday and tuesday, dad was tired and would get dizzy when he stood up. on wednesday before he went in for the third round, he showed me his hands and they were completely white. under normal circumstances, one's hands are pink in color from blood circulation. in dad's case, anemia had set in so instead of a chemo treatment, he got yet another blood transfusion [this makes 28 pints over the past year].
