Update and Great News

Jay is continuing to improve each day. He is primarily using a walker to get around. He is sleeping well at night. He has some esophagus burn from the radiation and is having trouble swallowing. He has lost about 30 lbs. We hope he can increase his food intake over the weekend. His blood counts are staying low. H&H low, platelets low (17) and white counts low. He is getting platelets and blood today, platelets tomorrow followed by chemo. He has a head cold and will start on at home antibiotics. 

Overall he is tired but in good spirits. 

Now for the GREAT news. The latest sample of spinal fluid shows "a single cancer cell". The initial sample showed 300+ cells. Woohoo!!
