in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Just a quick update on our bud, John.   He coninues his recovery, but has developed some sort of infection that they are culturing so they can find the right antibiotic.

in the meantime, he has been suffering with bad bouts of nausea and just generally feeling poorly.

So, continued prayers and good mojo requested. 

We need him back on here bestowing his words of wisdom !!

thank you all

    Not good

    I was hoping that he was sailing through recovery.  Hopefully once they know what bug he has and he gets the correct antibiotics he will finally start feeling well.  Keep up the good fight and prayers to you both, I know it is hard for the caregiver.

    Do let him know we're thinking of him!

    Tell him to hang in there--he's gotten through worse and been back to normal life, and the same will happen here!
