Some of y'all know, most do not, but my dad has been batteling Pancreatic cancer for a year now. We had chemo & radiation last year, went ok but didn't really do much to the tumor. January we visited with UTSW & MD Anderson, both prescribed the same treatment plan so we went with UTSW because of location. Well this new treatment is kicking his [censored]. Can't drink or eat anything cold, low blood platelets, low red & white blood cells, off & on fevers, dehydration, diarrhea, you name it he's got it.
We are currently in the hospital at UTSW, under the care of his oncologist. He's had 8 liters of fluid, 100mg of magnesium, a blood transfusion, and some other drugs. Dr's don't know what's causing the fever spiked, but they are progressively getting hotter, reached 102 today.
Anybody that can send knee mail I ask you to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
On top of all this, we are trying to get his house ready for sale, move him in with us, build our new house and sell the current, and trying a new business venture.

Prayers not only for your Dad, your family and friends but for his healthcare providers, too. You've been under a lot of stress lately, BP. I pray that things work out for the best.

Prayers are with you all. I see this nearly every day at work. Strong family support helps dearly. Be strong. Make sure you tell him how you feel. And what all he did for you growing up. Can tell he raised a good son and man.

Spent the night in the room with him, he now has a low grade fever and heart rate is down in the low 100's. They have him a different antibiotic and it seemed to help. I don't know how anybody can get better in a hospital with as much as they come in the room through the night. The nurses worked their butts off. In a side note, don't ever have a sneezing fit while in the patients room when the nurse is in there. I sneeze all the time, normally between 10-15 every episode. Well last night it happened and the nurse kicked me out, thinking I had a cold. I got a damn flu swab and full check up before I was allowed back in

Dr said he will be there through the weekend. Likely moving to ICU so they can keep a closer eye on him. Wife is catching the red eye from Seattle so I will be living at the hospital for the remainder of his stay

One night he had taken his allergy meds but was continuously sneezing. I think we had the windows open because it was really nice temps like we are having now. I finally had him put a damp washcloth over his face, closed up the house and turned the a/c on to finally get him to stop sneezing.
