Dear All,
Some of you by now might have already heard the news, but I'm sure most of you will not and so I send a short update on the current situation regarding my Dad. Today, after a horrible last week, Dad has been re-admitted into Hospital. It has been 2 weeks since his first proper Chemotherapy and it appears to have hit him hard. He is very weak, all motor skills have been drastically reduced, sleeping consumes most of the day and last week he was definitely suffering from depression. This weekend he stayed with Don & Lucille whom many of you know, and I think this was good for him, but now that he is in Hospital he already feels much better.
I don't know too much more on the situation as yet, but my understanding is that they will do some tests to find out exactly what is going on with his body at the moment, and keep him on a drip to pump him with calories and all the things the body has been lacking of late. My personal opinion was that if the reaction to the therapy is so extreme that they would probably put the next session on hold, but apparently they have mentioned that they will most likely go ahead with the next session on the 22nd of July in the hospital he currently resides in.
The details are as follows:
Hospital; Privatklinik Döbling
Address: Heiligenstädter Str. 57-63, A - 1190 Vienna
Web Address: http://www.privatklinik-doebling.at/index_en.php
For those who wish to visit, this is not a problem, he is in a single room and the room number is currently 266, but I would suggest that if you do wish to visit that you send him a text message in advance so that he can confirm or advise on a better day or time if necessary. For those that do not have his mobile number it is: xxxxxxxxxx. It's also advised to leave your name in the message just in case he does not have your number stored… He is currently not available via e-mails, but should have his computer with him come the end of the week.
Other than this there really is not much more I can say, as soon as I hear anything more concrete on test results or how the doctors plan on proceeding I shall inform you of it.
With best regards,
Chris.
