Thanks, Clara. We're just back from the oncologist. We decided to pass on the chemo today. Doran was too weak, and had lost so much weight.

We are going to wait and try some Megace. amd see if a couple of weeks more off the chemo will help.

Thanks for the info. Is hospice doing blood tests for you?

Clara, how low were his counts when he decided to have the chemo? We're facing that decision tomorrow, and he's already spent four nights in the hospital with three units of blood after the last one.

And that's about all he's been doing since then....and not eating much.

Is Bob having any pain?

Clara,

I am so sorry to hear how things are going. It never ceases to amaze me how wicked this disease is and how it encompasses all our lives. Know that we are all praying for you and Bob!
