After another day of the Hospitalist, Infectious Disease Dr and Oncologist all having a different opinion we are left with confusion and depression.
Latest scan shows a brand new 3X2 cm high probably of cancer on Larry's liver. The oncologist ordered a stronger dose of steroids. The hospitalist previously told us she thought it might be the steroid he was given with chemo that caused his spasms. ??
He still cannot keep anything down. Could not even tolerate liquids today. I believe they want to first try one more time with liquids in the morning. If again he cannot keep it down, most likely they will be giving him a nutritional IV tomorrow. ??
Latest scan showed C.Diff stranding in his colon. Yet his culture came back negative. So now they are saying he no longer has C.Diff. We want to believe this is true. ??
Larry's spasms are gone but the pain is not being relieved. They have switched him to dilaudid injections. The location of the pain is mid lower chest area. Oncologist feels it is referred pain from the new liver tumor. Hospitalist previously told us it was reflux/GI distress. I had asked for a GI Dr consult this morning.
This evening inquired about it only to find out it had not been processed. Tomorrow I will call myself.
Larry asked me to inquire about home hospice.
Melody what a heart wrenching, difficult time you are all going through, yet you still take the time to update us. Thank you so much! I check several times a day and pray constantly for good news and relief for you both. May angels surround you and give you peace tonight.
ReplyDeleteMel, Its so hard to comment but I had to let you know that our hearts go out to you and Larry, Larry and Laura. Your news really is heart wrenching. Everything is happening so fast! Stay strong and keep up hope and prayer!
ReplyDeleteMelody, I check daily for your updates. So wanting to hear some good news. It is, at best, complicated and difficult for us lay people (though you're more knowledgeable) to understand. And if they disagree, how are YOU to make a decision? I am disheartened, yet understanding of Larry's desire to check into home hospice. My heart wrenches for you all.
ReplyDeleteMelody, your update is so difficult to read. So much for you all to process, one thing on top of another. I, too, am disheartened, and pray that you all can find some peace & comfort soon. Hugs, hugs, hugs.
ReplyDeleteIt is very disheartening that the doctors in my uncle's care cannot get on the same page. I pray that he can find some peace in hospice if the hospital is proving too taxing-which I think it is. God Bless you Melody and the same to Larry and Laura and of course my uncle.
ReplyDeleteI pray for Larry daily. I hope he is clinging to he Savior and finding peace in our Lord Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteI am 29 years old and have been diagnosed with breast cancer, ease of treatment and a similar story, except for my first acceptance as a rejection of herbal medicine. I was not part of the Perseid movement and did not really build relationships with any of them, I just believed in their operation. I say this because it was during the use of Dr. Itua herbal medicine that I now attest that herbal medicine is real, the phytotherapy Dr. Itua heal my breast cancer which I suffered for 2 years. Dr. Itua herbal medicine is made of natural herbs, with no side effects, and easy to drink.
