Still here. We slept well last night, due to Lola, the bossy nurse, working with me to come up with a schedule to disturb him the least amount of times as possible.

We go back to see her on Thursday so I'm assuming we will go over the results then.  Unfortunately there are no clinical trials in GA that Jeremy would qualify for at this point.  Every day is a roller coaster, some bad days with some better days. Jeremy has been able to eat, though nowhere near pre-cancer standards and has slowed down the…
