Yet again, and an update on ct results
so they admitted him to the Hospital. His counts are low which we knew to be expected. He is also on xeloda 2000 mg daily.
They are thinking he has aspiration pnemonia because this was not showing in his ct but then a day in a half later it is showing in a chest xray. His lung is not sounding too good. He is coughing alot of mucus up. They are thinking he may of choked on the Tang from the ct drink stuff.
They are running Antibotics and fluids. I just hope he is home intime for easter.
We have spent every holiday in the hospital so far, so not fun. They are also doing breathing treatments with him too.
But here are his results from his CT.
THEY ARE CLEAR!!! CANCER HAS NOT GREW BACK SO FAR. CHEMO is WORKING!!! AND HIS BACK IS FINE!! ITs JOINT PAIN FROM THE CHEMO WHICH IS NORMAL!!!
WE ARE HAPPY AND ENLIGHTED ABOUT THAT!!!
God bless and thanks for the prayers!!1
TINA!
