Christine thanks so much for your reply xx yes he is staying in hospital for treatments because we live so far away and it is a plane journey away. Yes he's starting to feel pretty rubbish now and was in fact due to have a second chemo session today but on blood results they decided his levels were too low for him to have the chemo today so they will try again on Thursday which now means we probably wont get to have the meeting with the Consultants. I am trying to understand the spread to the spine, and their use of the word 'incurable', you mentioned that the continued treatments are probably an attempt to keep it from spreading further although they have said that until the mass forms into a tumor they wont start the chemo to treat it. I have read info online about the prognosis for patients of HNC after a metastasis into the bone that does not seem to tally with what the docs are saying to my husband but im wondering if they are being selective in what they are telling him due to his mental health state at the moment as he has had to have psychiatric counselling whilst in hospital. I still have not had this promised phone call from the doctors and it seems now that this meeting will now not happen on thursday so I am left with little to no information again. His blood resaults from today I have though maybe these could help shed some light on it as I confess to not understanding all of this

HB 90
Neautrafils 1.2
WBC 2.0
Calcium 2.25 but was as high as 4.8 last week

Thankyou for your help Christine and for the info on the new immune drugs i have made a note of these and will research them now and make a point to discuss with his doctors when i finally do get to see them xx
