Today Pete has the first CT scan since the chemo began. The doctors have indicated that they should be able to see some results, some change since the original scan. I don't think we'll be getting the results today because the scan is being done in the Basking Ridge facility and the doctors are at the main campus in Manhattan. He has an appointment there this coming Tuesday.
The treatments are beginning to affect him to the point where he is applying for disability. The people at work have been very supportive, but it's becoming very difficult for him to continue working. There is also a concern, because he works in the pharmacy, that his close contact with so many people who may be harboring germs, bacteria, viruses (including H1N1), etc. may jeopardize his health due to his weakened immune system.
I'm hoping that there will be such a marked improvement on the scan that they will tell us before we leave today.
