Just a quick update- Dad has completed the first week of radiation and chemotherapy. He has been feeling fine, the chemotherapy hasn't made him sick and his appetite has been normal. He's having a little more trouble getting around, however he only had physical therapy on Monday and today instead of the normal three days a week. Radiation had to squeeze him in whenever they had an opening and it conflicted with physical therapy so we had to cancel one appointment. The brain tissue could also be swelling from radiation and that could affect his able to move and control his left side.
He's been using a wheelchair to get from the car to radiation, just because it's such a far walk from the car, through the hospital, and to the radiation office. Other than that he's been using a cane, partially to give him some extra balance and partially to help him practice for if his left leg becomes worse. He's still working hard at therapy and is determined to get more strength and mobility back!
