Hi Chrysti - My Dad also hated feeling closed in. He didn't have to do any tests for follow up to chemo because the chemo killed him, which, in my Dad's case was, I believe, divine intervention. It sounds like your Dad is responding well to treatment. How wonderful!!!! Having been a Daddy's girl, even at 47, I just wanted you to know that I will being praying for your Dad! Please keep us posted on how things go. I don't post too much now, but, I read the boards everyday to see how the wonderful warriors and their fabulous caretakers are doing. Karen
