Good News?

The 'rents visited an oncologist in Holland to get a second opinion, and were told that not only is remission a possibility, Dad might make it years (note the multiple, she said two or three). I'm not sure how I feel about this - everything I've read indicated that metastatic small cell is one of the most aggressive and hard to treat cancers in existence. But I'm still going to hope...

In related news, Dads white cell count was something like .6 at the beginning of the week - NOT GOOD!! But they did more bloodwork today, and it's up closed to 2. Not normal, and we're not going to let anyone with the sniffles be around him, but better.
