DH had Lumbar Puncture today, he will have Bone Marrow Test tomorrow morning and the next day the plan is to start Mega Dose of chemo/radiation. The Chemo drugs are ones he has not had before, its called R-ICE for short. Its given over a 3 day period in the hospital. His spirits were good today, not sure how much of it is the pain meds or just a relief that they are keeping him from hurting. The DR. told us this morning that the Mass is the size of a large Lemon and its pressing against the spine and nerves causing the pain. She said that the drugs will kill the cancer thus stopping the pain. The Cat Scan shows that the cancer is just in the mass at the L2 Vertebra and has not spread anywhere else. That was wonderful news to hear.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, I truly appreciate them all.
