He will have an MRI next week to see if there is a better view. In the meantime, they are putting him on antibiotics to see if that helps (in case it is inflammation).
He asked how long he had to live. doc said there are patients who have lived years on immunotherapy which at this point, he is against doing. he just wants surgery.
He had a motto for years: As long as there is a pill for it, I"m not going to change. Seems we are running out of pills these days and the depression is just getting worse. He is supposed to have 2 job interviews next week but he has not had good luck getting a job so far in the last 3 months. He is a IT person.
just updating...it's getting really really stressful around here.
