Spoke too soon

Apparently, I should never say anything optimistic about Joe's situation because it only jinxes things. This weekend, Joe started having extremely painful muscle spasms in his butt and lower back. They're having to keep him on high doses of muscle relaxants and deladen, and as a result he sleeps most of the time. After doing a c-scan and an MRI, it turns out he has a mass AND and abnormality in the hip area. The are going to biopsy the mass and do a pet scan on the abnormality. They have no idea what this is all about, but it didn't happen until after his latest bone marrow biopsy, which he said was FAR more painful than either of the other two, so I'm guessing it's related. Hopefully they'll figure it out quickly.
