I'm worried because they had him on Prednisone for a long time, then took him off of that and put him on something else, and he also gets that once a week(I think it's every week) shot for his arthritis, and it has all kinds of side effects.

Please keep him in your thoughts. He's been a hard working farmer all his life, and has gone through so much between heart problems and cancer, this is just really scary right now.

Oh my gosh Jenn, this is the first time I've ever opened this thread and I saw your post! I'm praying that your father will be well. He has been through so much, it isn't fair. My prayers and positive thoughts are going out to you and your dad right now.
