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.
Patti prayers still being said for Ken and you. That's really good new's about the reduction in tumor size and lymph nodes. I'm sorry to read about the heart issue.
