We just got the results of Mitchell's scan. He does have an infection in his stomach. Which explains why he has continuously had a low grade fever of 100.3 all day.The scan indicated that he has Typhlitis, which are little perforations in his stomach. So he is now on a no food or drink diet to reduce the amount of stomach acid. They are also continuing all three antibiotics and trying to keep him hydrated with IV's.
The CT also showed something that none of us wanted to hear. His tumor/mass has grown since last week. This could be caused by a couple of other things other than cancer. It could be bleeding or swollen from his infection. The doctor wants to be sure of what we are dealing with before they decide to add more therapy to his treatment plan. The surgeon will be by tonight to examine Mitchell to determine if he will have a biopsy surgery.
~More updates will come as we get answers~
