Update on Firecop

Haven't had a lot of time, but I have quite a bit of news. My uncle started chemotherapy this week. He is receiving treatments at Apple Hill. Unfortunately, during school hours for me. He spends 2 to 3 days a week, 6 hours a shot, receiving chemo. This has had an affect on his diabetes. Today his blood sugar was 447!!! He is now going on insulin for the rest of his course of chemo. He is tired and has blurry vision, this is normal. He also had to quit at the hardware store, as this is a pretty intense wave of treatment. The Cancer Center is just wonderful! He receives financial assistance throught the center which includes gas cards, utilities, rent and groceries! What a miracle! He so wanted to remain independent of us and now he can. I am worried that I cannot be there like I used to be; a side bar of having to go to classes when my kids do. But, as this routine settles in for me and the family, I am sure I will be able to attend a few chemo sesseions with him. Click the cells to see a short video on what chemotherapy does....
