Hospital again

Just an update. Bruce is in the hospital. He has been having some really severe knee pain now for a little over a week. We finally went to the ER on Saturday last but they couldn't find a cause. We had our regular appointment with the oncologist on Tuesday and he was concerned both about the knee and about a couple of other things. He wanted to admit him to the hospital so that we can get to the bottom of these issues and get him feeling better. They have drained 15 cc's of fluid from his knee and are running tests on it. So far there is nothing conclusive. 
The good new is that the Cancer looks great! It is in some places the same as it was the last scan, remember the cancer was reduced by 75% last time, and in others decreased in size. That doesn't sound great but it is really good in this aggressive Cancer. 
They have had to reduce the dosage because of the side effects so hopefully things will continue to improve.
While in the hospital we are learning about new meds that are effective in controlling nausea. if u need to try out new meds the hospital is the best p,ace to do it.
Life has definitely changed big time for us! Some days are super hard others are better. We love u all!
