two treatments done

After the first treatment last week, Dad had one or two days where he just felt wiped out, no energy. But this week, after the treatment which included the third med Oxaliplatin, he
 has been feeling pretty good, no exhaustion. He did, however, experience this drug's most common side effect, extreme sensitivity to cold.  He touched a frozen package of meat and it was like ice picks in his fingers. Yikes. And so he can't eat ice cream, which I imagine would be quite pleasant. Great, right at a time when he really needs the calories! Life is definitely not fair.
