They
just found out that the hiccups that David has had for two weeks are a a
very bad thing, if not given treatment VERY soon, he will lose the use
of his arms and legs. The doctors think Intrathecal chemotherapy (
Treatment in which anticancer drugs are injected into the fluid-filled
space between the thin layers of tissue that cover the brain and spinal
cord through a Spinal tap) will really help.
They plan to do 8 over a course of 2-3 weeks. Plus radiation to the brain first and then the spine.
But
the hard part is planning them separate. No radiation is allowed before
a time frame of 24 hours has passed from the time the spinal tap,
because of the open wound.
