Update On Dad

Dad started raditaion yesterday. Five days a week for the next six to eight weeks. Fortunately it will be at least 3 or 4 weeks before he's supposed to feel any ill effects from it. Supposedly it's just a standard preventative measure, but two months of daily treatment sounds like a lot for something that’s not all that serious. I’d be more trusting if Dad was actually open and honest about his health issues, but he tends to keep us in the dark, which is ironic because if I hadn’t told him when I was diagnosed with melanoma and had to have surgery, he would’ve been more than upset.
