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.
