Husband and Mom with Cancer

Husband had to skip 1 chemo treatment due to white blood count being down to
2.2. Actually seemed to help him in feeling better. Tingling in hands and
feet has stopped for now. He has had 2 treatments since the one they
skipped. Started a new trial for shortness of breath. This is only 28 days
long. Could be getting a placebo, just don't know. Mom say her Dr. today for
blood work and cat scan. All the blood work looks tremendous according to
the Dr. He injected the spheres into the right lobe and everything is gone
but 1 tiny spot and according to him it is dying. The bad news was there are
2 on the left lobe that seem to be growing so is setting up everything to do
that lobe the week of March 3rd. He feels we are on a roll where she is
concerned. Just keep hoping for the best with more time with them and them
still be in decent shape. Believe it or not but my husband is bald on top
and suddenly has baby fuzz growing about half way toward the front of his
head. I told him he was always weird. Will update again when there is
something to let you know.
