The new immunotherapy trial we thought he was starting will not be possible until they get the tumors shrunken some. His docs want to do an agressive 3 drug punch to kick the growth's a**, which is good with us. I am just wondering what severity of nasty side effects we are in for this time -- will meet with the MO tomorrow to find out details. Scared and anxious. J did get some Xanax, which is a BIG help for him. Think I might pilfer a couple to ease my mind as well occasionally. This just doesn't seem real.
