I was with Jim most of the day as his doctors called him at least seven or eight times today.
After telling him Monday that he qualified for the new experimental program, the chief radiologist looked at his PET scan this morning, found that the lymph node in the center of his chest is now involved and called off the treatment.
The new protocol is seven weeks of chemo and radiation. Â The radiation will be every day for that period with the chemo every day for a period; then ceased to be picked back up after the seven weeks of radiation.
He's self-employed; if he can't work, he has no money to pay his bills. Â He's just so depressed as am I. Â I don't know what the next move will be now.
Boy, could I use a shoulder to cry on right now.
