Chris has been doing better the last few days. He no longer has pain in his upper or lower back thanks to the radiation. The only issue he is currently dealing with is weakness in his left leg. Both of his legs are weaker, just from lack of use as a result of being in the hospital for a week and a half; and his left leg is even a bit weaker than the right leg because of the lesion compressing his lumbar spine.
Chris has been seen by a physical therapist everyday to work on strengthening and stretching his legs. We've also been trying to take some walks to get Chris out of his hospital room and strengthen his legs.
Additionally, we received an email from Dr. Shah letting us know that Chris's T-cells were being shipped today and should arrive at Froedtert on Friday. Chris will be starting day one of his pre-CAR-T chemo today since everything looks good and on time. He will get chemo Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. On Sunday he will move up to the eighth floor for the therapy, and will begin his CAR-T therapy on Tuesday.
Thanks for the continued support.
