His birthday is coming up. He’s about to be 70! He’s very skinny and always cold.
I was thinking a towel warmer for when he gets out of the shower?
I’ve gotten him a memory book already for Father’s Day.
He always buys stuff like clothes for himself.
I’m open to ideas in all budget ranges (because I’ll make us siblings split it) ;)
I can’t even say this is mid-treatment because we don’t know what the end is, but we’re on round 4 of chemo. Dad is mid 60’s, was in very good health prior to stage IV diagnosis at the end of March and he is staying positive.
On Wednesday we found out his tumor marker dropped from 500 to ~340.
Today he is super tired and has a lot of excess fluid and not feeling so great.
I hate seeing someone I love go through these ups and downs and not feel well. I also hate seeing him so thin.
Anytime we celebrate a good moment, it seems like something is around the corner.
It’s such an emotional roller coaster - and at the end of the day I just want him to be happy and feel good. The latter is hard, but I just want him happy.
I’m not sure what I’m looking for by posting this - maybe just to vent with people that understand.
