Henk had his scans on 10/03 and visited the pulmonologist today.
GOOD NEWS! He's had considerable shrinkage. She (the pulmonologist) was still seeing 'something' on the scans but she can't tell what it is. Could be active tumor or dead tumor or scar tissue. The growth on the vertebrae is gone.
The appointment with the radiologist is next Friday. Will he be able to tell us more? I don't know.
Is it possible to see what the 'something' on the scans is? Is it possible to see if tumor is dead without surgery?
Thank you very much!
Henk asked his doc about the shots. Doc told him it's better to wait until the body produces enough white blood cells without help. So there's nothing we can do but wait.

I know there must be more posts on this subject, but I can't find them.
Henks white blood counts are way too low for chemo right now. I'm amazed and a little worried about this.
Henk is feeling okay and yet his counts are not. Is this 'normal'?
It's not the first time that this is happening! Is it possible to do something about it?
