Sorry I meant to respond but we seem to spend hours upon hours sitting in doctors offices with such conflicting results
After almost two years of trying different chemo treatments he is now on a trial of two immunotherapies- he sleeps most of the time - weighs 127 pounds - a strong diuretic has helped with the fluid so paracentisis is not needed quite so often
Test results are a bit concerning from last week but they will do a scan after his next infusion on the 27th
He is now on an antidepressant along with raglan and Prilosec and a few other medications to try and allow him to eat without feeling sick
We take one day at a time but not much encouragement from anywhere and definitely a lot of unknowns still in spite of our questions
The immunotherapy is making him itch terribly so he may have no option but to stop and not sure if any other options will be offered
Sorry this is so long - struggling so much with not being able to help him
