The Good Fight

The good news is that Mark had a visit from a doctor Sunday morning who claimed that he did not have to be in complete darkness as he had been previously advised. He just must stay out of direct sunlight for 6 weeks. That was a huge relief!
The bad news is that Mark keeps running a high temp each afternoon from about 4-6 pm, gets chills and then is hot. These are all symptoms that the pneumonia persists despite the fact he has been on two antibiotics for over two weeks and a new stronger one was added intravenously on Saturday. At the moment, the pneumonia is more cause for concern than the cancer.
I returned home for a night but will be back in Boston for the duration of Mark's hospital stay, however, I am not sure that I will have internet access. At the moment Mark is due to return home Thursday or Friday after the 3 stages of the photodynamic therapy are completed but that will be contingent on the status of the pneumonia. If there are any dramatic changes and I do not have access to the internet, then I will have Gary update the blog.
