Well, the echo looks good so it's a guess that there must have been somekind of technical error in the mugascan. He will see Dr. Kuo (cardiologist) again on Jan. 13th.
The Pet scan also looks good...all infected areas are contained on the right side of the neck.
An interesting turn of events: at the last Chemo session they had given him a test shot of one of the drugs (Bleomycin) because many people have an allergic reaction. After the test shot, they administered his first drug (Adriamycin). He broke out in hives and it was assumed it was the Bleo. The plan was to give him Benadryl before the Bleo. But, today, they administered the Adriamycin first and ...well...it turns out THAT's what he is allergic to. (the four chemicals are Bleomycin; Adriamyicn (or Doxorubicin); Dacarbazine and Vinblastine)
He is very tired already; say's his legs are real weak. For the next two days, he'll need a lot of rest.

Sorry to hear about the allergic reaction! Hopefully this time they got it figured out so next time will be reaction-free! :)
We're praying for you guys.
