thanks for the prayers, the cancer has spread into his lungs and he has pneumonia frown he says his breastbone is very tender and we know there is a tumor there frown the encologist wants to continue treating the pneumonia and tomorrow start chemo??!!!


this really surprises me, would that not be overkill? I just cannot see the reasoning of rushing chemo so quickly while he already is so sick? I wish I was there when the encologist came in, but he came in sat night at midnight, when of course we are not there.......we are thinking the dr gave him not good news and maybe told him this is his only chance? but I am afraid it will be even worse for him?


has anyone heard of continuing treatment so quick? we believe it will be eurbitux again
