We got some good news and some bad news today. The CT scan showed significant reduction in the main tumors and enlarged lymph nodes. So the radiation did it's job yea we are so thankful. Everyones prayers and positive thoughts worked. The bad news was that the echo showed moderate fluid around his heart. Between that and his platelets being low ( 70 and they need to be at least 100 to do chemo) he can't get chemo for 2 weeks. He has been referred to a cardiologist to see about draining the fluid which they also can't do until his platelets come up. He has another echo next Thursday to monitor the fluid level. So while we are thrilled about the tumors shrinking we are concerned now about the heart. Thanks again for the support.
