They put a central line in, he got a shot to try and boost his white blood count, no results on blood cultures yet. Has anyone experienced any of these symptoms? The doc said he may be in the hospital a week and won't be able to take any treatments until hes much stronger. No thought of that now, I'm just praying we can get the infection under control. He doesnt know I'm there most of the time so I came home tonight to get some sleep, it's impossible to get any at the hospital. | | |

He missed one week of radiation, after that he was transported by ambulance for two weeks. I know this is very hard on you both, do you have any family members he would trust to stay with him while you rest? I must admit I can understand his fear...it`s a very real possibility. Where are you , can I help?
Hang in Deborah it won`t be long now. Take Care Marica
