A minor set-back
Today Joe has had a minor set-back. He has been experiencing abdominal pain and pressure for about a week that has not cleared up with medicines or foods. He had a full cat scan yesterday as a starting baseline for the doctor but struggled to drink the fluid required for him. Today the doctor diagnosed that he has accumulated fluid in his abdomen. Tomorrow at 9 am he will be admitted into Strong Memorial Hospital to have the fluid sac drained and tested in the cytology lab. There is a chance that the fluid drained will contain cancer cells. If this is the case, there is a liklihood that he may be admitted and begin his IL-2 treatments a week ahead of when we anticipated them to begin.
Say a prayer that all turns out well! Paul or I will keep you updated as to his progress.
