More Ups and Downs, more up today

Harry had a very bad day on Friday. Things have picked up quite a bit since then. We have seen 3 doctors in the last 2 days and they have adjusted some of his medicines and that seems to be working. He is still not eating the way he wants to but we have found a nutritional supplement that is finally succeeding at getting him to better health. He is stepping down on one of his pain medications and has completely gotten off of the other. Today is the best I have seen him since June. He will have a CT Scan of his chest within the next 2 weeks and then we see his oncologist to find out where we are and when we start the next round of chemo. It is my understanding that when we start that it will be 1 time a week for 3 weeks, 2 weeks off and then the same routine for a total of 3 rounds of full chemo. He will have to have surgery to put a bard port back in - but he came through that with flying colors last time and I expect nothing less this time.

Over the weekend we were blessed to have my sisters and their families, Harry's mom and Harry's cousin and his family for a BBQ. And even though he was tired - he really really enjoyed the company.

Thanks again to all

Mona
