pin17,

I am doing fine today.

Allison pretty much summed it up. The only thing I might add, following surgery, walk, walk, walk. It really does help in the healing process, even if it's a short distance.

Listen to your body, if your tired, rest. I would get chemo Tues-Thrusday, and spend Friday sitting on the sofa recovering. By Saturday, I was doing things again.

Good luck, the biggest thing you can do for your dad is be there for him. I couldn't have done what I did without my family's love and support.
