OK, so we met with the Cardiologist

Without trying to scare anyone.... the doctor said Jim has experienced mild heart failure due to the Chemotherapy he's had over the past few months.  However, this can be reversed with medication.  We were told that it would take about 4-6 weeks for the heart to recover.  In the meantime, we think what they were saying is that he could continue with his plans for the transplant.  That was good news.  But we're not out of the woods yet.  They still want to do a stress test of the heart.  So, here it is Friday of course and we have to wait for the results of all the tests that they've done until Monday or Tuesday.  This whole process has been all about PATIENCE.
