Larry is scheduled for an endoscopy tomorrow afternoon. Finally, a GI Dr came to visit him. Only took them 3 days to finally contact someone. He visited Larry today and Yep-another opinion. He does not think it is the liver tumor causing his pain/spasms. He feels the type of problems with not being able to keep down food or water is more likely coming from the stomach. Hopefully tomorrow we will know more after the procedure. He was switched back to the morphine because he didn't get any relief from the dilaudid.
Tomorrow the oncology Dr will also be in. I don't know what he is going to say at this point. He may convince Larry to keep at the chemo-I don't know. I am not giving an opinion about this one, Larry needs to make the decision himself. None of this is easy.
I woke up this morning feeling like a cold is coming on-the LAST thing I need right now. Took all my supplements and feeling better now, hoping I caught it in time.
I also went to see my palliative care Dr. My Post Mast Pain Syndrome from 2 yrs ago has occurred again. She is hoping it is from a different pain receptor than the original because of the fibromyalgia. She explained how our bodies have memories of what occured during high stress times and will often go back to that. They have actually studied pain receptors and how they will soften, relax and you get relief. If you end up returning to a similar high stress situation the receptors can go back to the way they were. If only I could put in place everything that helped me to get out of that cycle of pain.
