Hanging on by a thread, NorthernStar? Ffs.
Don't want to ask too many questions but is he responding to any treatment at all?
Keep fighting it, Sharkbait. Thoughts & prayers continue to be with you."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Very short update now, but will come back in here later tonight to do a full status on him. He is not hanging on by a thread. He is responding to treatment that he has had. He has gotten a bit worse, but not that bad. Will be back on in a few hours and will add more.My window of opportunity is expanding.....

Update on Sharkbait: Still in isolation at the hospital, and will be in isolation until he gets out and comes back home. So many things have been going on that it gets overwhelming. He had to have a double picc line, (peripherally inserted central catheter), which is a long I.V. line inserted in your upper arm and terminates in your heart which was inserted since there are no more places to poke him for all the labs they have to do and his regular I.V. had stopped working. The first picc line stopped working after a few days so they had to remove that one and place another one in. His week of strong chemo went well; according to the blood results as it wiped everything out (all blood cells and platelets). We are now playing the waiting game for a month to see if his bone marrow grows the good cells back. Along with the chemo treatments he has also received blood and platelet transfusions. He is now having many side effects from all the chemo and other drugs he is on. He did develop a double ear infection and with someone’s blood count so low they get this a lot worse than we would. He also has a lot of jaw pain and is unable to eat, so he is getting fed by TPN (getting fed through the picc lines). It is hard for him to talk so he has to whisper, but yet it still hurts him when he does this. He can only hear about 10% of what someone says, and that’s even with lip reading. So far the past few days have been the roughest for him and he has now lost his sense of humor, but I am sure that he will eventually get that back. He will have to go through another 1 week round of the strong chemo before the bone marrow transplant can take place. The other test results came back from the biopsy and they showed the AML’s subtype is secondary with 18 mutations. This is one of the fastest moving cancers out there and it worsens quickly. Doctor stated that the prognosis without the mutations is about 20% and with the mutations it is even lower. Without any treatment we are looking at about 3-6 months.My window of opportunity is expanding.....

The other day the nurse asked him a question and he replied with saying "why yes, I will have 2 beers." The question had nothing to do with beer.My window of opportunity is expanding.....
