PET scan showed that the primary tumor has shrunk and FDG takeup reduced. But scan showed that he has lung infection. That explained papa's cough started in mid August. Dr O prescribed antibiotics (Augmentin). He said 2% of Glivec patients develops cough.
At yesterday's consultation, Dr. O suspected that dad contacted TB. He was worried that adminstrating TB medication and Glivec will damage his liver. I told him that papa had somewhat got better after the round of antibiotic. He decided to give him another round of antibiotics (Doxycycline) and ordered a blood test for TB in 10 days time.
Dad just complained that he felt very weak. He said he feared he can't live long.
Lord, I pray that papa will seek for the truth.
