Well, I got some encouraging news from second opinion hand doc and sent me back to first one. I have a temporary reprieve until next Friday to see my ID doc. So, we got the trip to Asia postponed and have 4 days to spend in Mexico. I'm on oral anitibiotics and they should keep me stable for a short time. I'll have more on both the Cancun trip and medical news next week. It's not much but it's something...Thanks for the kind words, PM, prayers and good wishes.
