Thank you to everyone!
Well, the doctor said no to the 3rd dose of ciplatin. He said that he got 90% of the benefit and to push the other 10% would be life threatening. He is so swollen.
I found out yesterday that he is on the highest amount of pain meds that the insurance sees reasonable (like they know) and the funny thing is,,,they dont work.
One week left and then the waiting to find out if this worked! Such anxiety and fear!!
For all of you who have endured this- I look up to you all as heros and as an inspiriation to others.
