Thanks Colleen, appreciate that additional exposure and will see if others comment. We had MRI last Friday and tomorrow is PET scan. As for his diet, he doesn't have much of an appetite and sometimes only takes a few bites and then is just done. With his complex medical background, and things hurt or ache its hard to know if related to the cancer or something else.
Chemo starts 7/9. Last CA 19-9 on 6/24 was 15,667.
