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.
