Update from Bob

update
don't have time to write much. we're waiting for call from dr. hettinger himself.
we may not have a chemo appt. today.
the one cell type test (usually takes 10-12 days to get back) is not back..
preliminary blood tests on samples from week ago wednesday are indicating that chemo may do more harm than good at this advanced stage.
they are afraid that chemo could possibly trigger infection since immune system already weak.
nurse called 15 min. ago when I had her in shower.
dr. himself supposed to call any moment.
at this point we don't know if were gonna have an appt. today at all.
is chance that could have chemo appt. next wed. if tests indicated okay to use the one drug.
we're at a critical point here.
will let you know instant we're done talking to doc.
will let you know if we still have an appt. today for consultation.
weight is holding at 143. same as July 25.
is becoming a bit more groggy. unsteady on feet at times to and from bathroom.
stay in touch'
