RD is about the same as he was when he came home from the hospital. Still weak and very short of breath. Went to the Radiation Oncologist on Thursday and everything checked out okay, the doc ordered a head/brain MRI. He will have this done on Wednesday just to be sure there are no tumors. If this is okay then he doesn't have to see this doc again unless something shows up later. The tumor was 4cm in Dec and in March it was between 2-2.5cm, so that is great. He also has a very good appetite. All the docs are saying the same thing, that he has emphysema, lung cancer, 3 types of fungus, and there has been some changes where he had the heart by-pass surgery and all of these things cause shortness of breath. Plus the treatments that destroyed the cancer cells also destroyed some of the healthy cells so they are going to have to rebuild and that takes time. He goes back to his regular oncologist on the 27th and then he will have a CT around the first of May to check the size of the tumor, hopefully, it will be smaller. We will know the results of the MRI either Wed afternoon or Thursday, I'll email when we hear.
