But in the meantime it has grown, he did have one mri after they did this about 1 week or so.  So should they not be doing something to prevent this growth of the tumor until he is ready for resection.  Also he was discharged from the hospital with a 8 hemglobin, which is way below the normal of 13.  I just dont understand all of this and wonder if anyone out there knows anything about this.   thanks Magazine2 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT
