Chirley;
No doubt it is probably in his esophagus as well, but getting the docs to listen to me - and get him the needed medication is harder and harder to do. Right now - the next step for him is his upcoming chemo with Vidaza starting tomorrow. I know it will be a difficult week, as his Hgb level on Thursday was only 8.6, and his transfusion level is 8.5. So, I am sure by now - he is in the 7's somewhere. He is very weak, and has been sleeping most of the weekend - he doesn't have any blood - therefore no energy. And with it being difficult for him to eat - it makes it all the worse. He will start the Revlimid after the week of Vidaza. I am getting frazzled - just watching him waste away in front of my eyes - not being able to help him.
Hope things are better 'down under'. Take care.
Beth
