I will let it play out a few more months and see how it goes, then maybe try to be a little insistent on more blood work at the very least. I know he is beat when he gets home. That time in Alaska is hard on him. Yes, Tammy, 12 hour days 21 days in a row. He has done it for 7 years, but, since tx, it's harder, which is to be expected I guess. I think I was just concerned because he sounded so tired last night. He was very frustrated too. Thanks again for the encouragement. Kathy
