Hi @shirl3924, how are you and your husband doing today?
Did your husband start antibiotics already? Are they helping? I'm not a medical professional, but I assume they suspect infection somewhere if antibiotics were prescribed. Like @marylou705 said, it may be an infection elsewhere.

I know you are frightfully worried. But as @merpreb said, try to focus your worry into action. Your questions are good questions. When you see your husband's medical team this week as how all these tests are connected. Repeat back to them what you understood them to have said. This will help remember what they said and expose anything that you may have understood incorrectly or that they didn't explain thoroughly enough.

Have you been able to find a way to help your husband feel comfortable?

Hi@colleenyoung. He had three days of antibiotics in the hospital last week and has taken them orally since. WBC was down some when he had blood work this morning.He went for a bone marrow biopsy this morning. It went well and he ate a good breakfast after. He has been napping since we got home. We won’t see the oncologist again until October 1. He continues to run a low grade temperature and is in a lot of discomfort on the side where he had surgery. I am trying to get his mind off of what is in the future and get him to live today. I don’t want depression to get him down but he is giving in to it. We did go out on our pontoon boat and watch the sunset yesterday.
