Thanks , and hope your scans came back good

I think I will call the onc today and see if we cant get those results the wait

is driving me insane

Joe finished his chemo in June , and has been fine up til about 6 weeks ago when

his bouts of diarrhea started. Nothing he does or doesnt do seems to help , just

have to wait it out

Thanks
