      Thanks for the info Kevin, Buddy did have a CT scan, and I'll be checking today if it showed any obstruction in the bowel. I'll take the Fleet enema with me today – in case he still needs something.  He was taking stool softners prior.

      Also, Kevin, did your tumors turn purple?  Did the doctors say the IPPI in working for you?  Buddy has had two treatments so far, scheduled for number 3 this Tuesday, but Philly says he can delay that to Weds-Thur or Fri=if he can get the steroids down to lowest possible dosage. 

      Good luck to you Kevin – Seems like you and Buddy react to treatments about the same way so far…….
