Not the best of days

I took dad to his oncology appointment today. Dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (a slow progressing form of cancer) close to three years ago. He had been responding rather well to the treatments, but according to test results we received today it looks like the cancer has stopped responding to his current treatments. His doctor is ready to try another form of chemotherapy, but we must go for tests on Thursday to be sure his heart can hold up to this new drug. Fortunately, Dad has never had heart trouble so hopefully he will be able to take this new treatment and his cancer will respond to it. Dad turned 80 in November and I am thankful to have had him around this long and I pray he will be around even longer. Please remember him in your prayers each night.
