Changing order in the Treatment...

We found out today that Austin will have the surgery first. Dr. Eng said he wants them to debulk first and then do radiation. He will not only have radiation to the tumor behind the eye but to the one in the chest as well (or where it was). Surgery will be next week. I don't know the details yet, still waiting to hear back from Patel to know the date and time. We are having to move fast on everything. Austin's counts are coming up and we don't want to waste time. He also told us that if Austin is still in the hospital when it is time to do radiation and they will have an ambulance take him over to CTRC to have radiation. No time to waste as you can see. He will have radiation and chemo. Then after radiation and chemo we will move into transplant. Once again it will be right after he recovers from the radiation. He says if there are any delays he will have him on chemo to make sure nothing comes back. His words today were,"My goal is still number one CURE, and we are still in this fight and we are going at it strong."

Counts are finally coming up but still are lower then yours and mine. So he is still on his neupogen shot.

When I find out more details I will post them. Have a great weekend.
