His blood pressure is low, though normal and his consistently has low neutrophils. It really does take time to recover.
When the metastases showed up on the lungs in my husband's scans, they were described as "having the typical seed-like appearance" of metastatic scc It was not just a shadow. They were small about 1.5 cm, but they did show up.
