Thank you kindly for your words my friends. It means a lot to us. My dad is coping with chemo for over a year and a half now, but it was never this bad. Early on he didn't suffer with all these side effects, at least not this badly. I know there are different kinds of chemo and what he is receiving now is according to different protocol then his first cycles in the winter of 2009-2010. For example as a side effect he was experiencing hair loss at that time (which grew back afterwards), but not now. We can only hope that therapy will be helpful and that all these terrible side effects will cease after his cycles end...
