Wow way behind - he had an eruption on this right shoulder blade - had a 10 treatment for it and it responded well without breking open thank goodness it looked as if it could - but wound care only ordered sent 14 gauze pads, some tape and Iodosorb to be sent to house for me to care for it - they had sent a partial tube home with us - I had some gauze pads from radiology so it worked out okay but not if ithe new one busted oprn as the armpit was was still nasty for while it still has a small are but much better than was his last radiation treatment was in Mar 17th thereabouts and had 1st week in April had CT's/Labs & dr. was to have Keytruda infusion but had a new lump just over the radiated so Dr. said No his Left arm swells because of the radiation in the armpits area. (they done an ultrasound on the day too to check for blood clots) They biopsied the new one it had cancer cells they were doing conference on how to proceed there was a new clinical study to start May 28/29th but he is unable to participate as he has 15+ lumps around the shoulder blade one down the left side to the waist all are growing various sizes from a quarter to a dot and turning beet red. Was down today was to start paperwork for the clinical but Dr. was afraid to wait till the study was to start . they were able to fit him in for an infusion today instead of waiting till next week started him on Gemcitabine Back for infusion on 5/22 and then Labs/dr/infusion on 6/5 its a harsher chemo with more side effecs will see how it goes if it will help.

STarted on trying to get out of here but not sure how will go I can't save restore the old house so it will be demolish and rebuilt - awaiiiington approval of an Agricultural commercial loan on the 64.5A I will sell my soul to the devil to get out of here... been cleaning it up a trucker friend has spent a month and 2 weeks in Feb/April helping to cut up the old tractor, truck frames and whatever else we walk into its only 5.3A but it seems alot more with all the crap thrown around.... piing it up so when prices go up will haul into scrape yard.

It's good to hear from you, @reibur1951. It sounds as if you are continuing to help your friend and doing an awesome job as well! Once again, he is so fortunate to have you as his advocate. I hope the new chemo will help without too many harsh side-effects.

So, you will be demolishing the old house and rebuilding it? It sounds like quite a project, but you seem to be up to major projects. I'm glad to hear that you have a friend to help you with the clean-up process.

I hope your friend has some reduction in his eruptions/lumps. That sounds so painful and uncomfortable. Does he have problems with sleep?
