I have not been posting much lately, my Dad came down with skin cancer. It is called 'Angiosarcoma of the Scalp'. Nasty nasty stuff. He has been on chemo and I've had to visit him quite often. He gets really sick between his chemo for about 4-5 days, then he is fine.

The cancer is on his forehead and at some point they will remove it. They are trying to kill the cells now.

He is going to the U of M medical school, one of three places in the US that specializes in it.
Huggs,

Carla

Carla,

It will take a woman's touch to help him through this and you can meet that expectation!!

Love,

Virginia

Hi Carla--
I hope he can get through chemo OK. Four or five days of sickness is a rough go-round. It's nice that you can be there for him.

Hi Carla
One of my customers,Tony had the same thing on his forehead. He had Chemo and surgery to remove the skin patch. That was 15 years ago and he's now 74 and doing just fine.
It's not easy when someone close to you gets a serious disease. You may not feel good inside but I figure you might as well smile and be happy around people who are sick. I think the last thing they need is someone crying and looking glum. I believe it makes them feel worse.
I wish you and your Dad the best Carla. Hugs.


Love
Jeannie
