CT Scan Done/Bone Marrow Biopsy Delayed

CT Scans were done today--should tell us (on Thursday will get report) about Lymphoma's resonse to chemo. But because Jim is on blood thinners they will postpone the BM biopsy (which will tell about the state of his leukemia) til after the 6th and final cycle. Since the diarrhea is still going on the doctor decided to keep him in for the day to receive (you guessed it) more IV fluids. Home by 5 pm--Jim still worn out and weak. Thanks to all the kind offers of help--it's greatly appreciated. And thanks for all the love, caring, and well wishes. Love, Barbara and Jim

    Dear Barbara and Jim,
    Wish I knew of some good cure for that diarrhea, Jim. Bummer. Glad the CT scans are done. Will try to talk to Barb tonight about that. Leaving tomorrow morning for New Mexico- friends Joan and Jim Lenzo celelbrating their 50th. Should be fun to see all of the old N.M. gang. Alyssa coming too, so she'll get to see where we used to live. Love and prayers to both of you from all of us.
    God bless,
    Jeanne, Frank and Alyssa
