Good news/bad news.
Dad's blood counts have not gone up, nor have any other markers for lymphoma/CLL. The oncologist is concerned that the secondary skin cancers may have decided to be a problem (hence the lymph nodes), so he recommended that Dad see the dermatologist and get his input. Assuming he can get in to see the dermatologist. If the dermatologist thinks it is possible that this is skin cancer related, then the oncologist will schedule a PET scan. However, the oncologist told my dad to go ahead and get his hip replacement in May, that there is no reason not to do this. Since that is a major source of his (physical) pain right now, that seems pretty important.
So it goes.
