4th Round of Chemo and still Strong!!
Francesco has now been in the hospital for 4 weeks. He just received his 4th round of Chemo. His sodium levels are low but his spirts remain high. He is beginning to lose his hair but Francesco is ok with it. Giovanni, Vincenzo and Enzo also shaved their heads. Yesterday he ate a 1/2 1b of salami, salt & vinegar potato chips, cashews, Chinese food and washed it all down with a can of Red Bull! Francesco is extremely aware of everything that is being done to him to help him fight the cancer. The doctors and social workers stress it is important to be honest and truthful with him.We all get our strength from Francesco in handling this adversity. Francesco's fighting spirit and courage is just truly remarkable. We are very anxious for him to come home. We are hoping and praying that he can leave the hospital within the next 2 weeks. The entire Galvano family are so thankful for all the prayers and thoughts from so many. You have no idea how grateful we are knowing we have such support from our family, friends and the community. Love to all, The Galvanos
