    trying to answer some of the question here.he keeps saying he’s feeling ok,but he sleeps all day long,has no energy, and doesn’t do anything.is loosing his balnce but is keeping his weight even though he doesn’t want to eat.is coughing quite a lot,and i was told by the dr that i work with that if his ascites and pleural efusion was very very bad they wouldn’t send him home without any at least diuretics or maybe do some drainege…he had his surgery at massachussets general hospital w/Dr.Sarah Thayer…she is an angel…i wish all drs. were like her…and now his onc is Dr.David ryan…very good professional but very pessimistic….i feel bad or him…he will start 5FU with a booster,but he was on Gemox for 4 months.it didn’t work.so the dr. doesn’t think it’s worth to use oxaliplatin again…so it won’t be FOLFOX…i’ll just keep praying and hope for the best…
    thanks all of you…i’ll keep you on my prayers…

    hi guys,thanks everyone for replying to me.i do look at the trades and that’s what has been bothering me.when he was dx it was 536,than after the surgery came back to 32.during chemo/radiation was 78 and than went to 411 when we started chemo again and from there 978 and 1431 last time we checked it.i’m just very concerned but the dr said the it does go up before it goes down but to me it’s just way to high.he’s getting scans again next tuesday.

    hey Heather,thanks or the reply.I’m not giving up,and i do realize the miracle to have my dad around me.we are here now watching the celtics game,and i can’t barely hear his voice.he’s very weak today,just had his chemo treatment so he’ll be down for 3 days or so….but i do pray everyday for him not to sufer and i do bknow that god will do the best for him even though it might not be what i want.but thanks again and I’ll be praying for your familly as well,and I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad but we know that he’s in a better place than us.God bless you and your husband…
