Dad's Health Update

Hi Gang,
Here is this weeks update based on my visits to my Heart Doctor and my chemo treatments.
I went to see my Heart Doctor today for my six month office visit. Dr. Smith checked my pacemaker and how it performed over the past six month and everything was fine.
However the pacemaker is now 6 1/2 years old and the battery has run out of steam. It was onlt suppost to last 5 years. So Dr Smith is setting up a date in mid June to replace the present pacemker with a new one. One more operation to look forward to, but it has to be done and I knew it.
I had my second chemo treatment today and will have the third one tomorrow. Again they are going great. I will see Dr Zaman next Thursday, 5/27, to review the treatments and my white blood cell count and at that time he will set up a date in the first week in June for my CT scan which is what I have been waiting for---AMEN.
So early June is the CT scan and mid June is my pacemaker replacement.
I think that brings you up to date. Any questions let me know.
Love you all, Dad
