What we know

Last week Mike had some scans done to see where we are at as far as eligibility for drug trials and just because it was time to figure out where things stand.

His doctor's office called us Friday and told me to get him to the hospital. They were concerned about something that looked like a clot. The good news: it wasn't a clot. The bad news: he has pneumonia. Turns out his cold is not just a cold.

Also, the scans revealed massive spreading and multiple lesions with more lymph involvement. This pretty much makes him ineligible for any drug trials.

We are currently waiting for a call from his doctor to discuss what time is left to us. Philip and I have moved the bed downstairs to the living room so that Mike no longer has to go up the stairs to get to bed.

And, I am no longer out of rum.
