It isn't enough that Alex has to endure cancer again, but now, they have to do surgery on his lung, by going through his chest cavity to remove a fungal mass. He will have a chest tube, and take 4-5 days to recover.
Since his platelets are so low, they will be continuing to transfuse while he is recovering, so that he can heal properly.
Chemo will be administered on Thursday instead of tomorrow.
The surgeons will be here in a while to discuss the details of the surgery. I will let you know more, when I do.
