Chris got his bone marrow biopsy results back. Every thing was normal! Yeah - kind of. Apparently you can only prove if you have cancer, no way to prove you don't have cancer. So even though all his bone marrow looks good, still doesn't mean he doesn't have cancer.
We are now going in three different directions. We meet with the surgeon again on Wednesday - they want to take a lymph node out of his abdomen (where they are the biggest problem). Then we are setting up appointments with a rheumatologist in case it is some autoimmune problem and also with an infectious disease specialist in case it is some funky bug causing all of this.
I just can't wait to find out what is causing Chris' lymph node problems. I thought the disease itself would be our trial - at the moment it is the finding out of the disease that is driving us crazy. We just hope we can soon pin point the problem so we can start working on a solution.

How frustrating--if he was feeling good or better, than you can just bide your time, but not knowing and feeling crummy is just putting salt in the wounds! Apparently, Drs don't know a whole lot! We will keep praying for you!
Wow,what a lot to figure out. I hope the pieces start fitting together soon and Chris can start feeling better. You're always in our prayers!
