The Drs told Brian that his counts were going up, not down. This information was based on lab work from last week. I am not sure exactly what that means, but I do realize it is not good news. They were able to convince him to take a single dose of RX today---thank goodness. He said it was administered to the two spots on his lower gums where the tumors were removed. 7 minutes on each side. Is this about the norm for a first treatment? He said he was kinda burning inside, but otherwise felt no discomfort. Are there side effects from this single treatment that I need to watch for as the evening goes on? We are 2 weeks into the metho doses and his dosage double to 50 mg per day starting tonight. Teresa
