We left the meeting with Larry's oncologist yesterday with very heavy hearts. He could not explain why this ongoing vomiting was not being contained with the meds. He also did not have any options for what we could do.
I awoke this morning with another idea. A big thank you to whoever is guiding me during this very very difficult time. I called the original GI Dr who had diagnosed Larry with the PC from a different hospital. His nurse was very responsive. Telling me it was the Dr's day off but she would contact him. An hour later he called our house and had an idea what may be going on. Larry is now scheduled for exploratory surgery Friday morning at 10am. He believes the cancer is causing a minor blockage in the intestine which could be corrected with a stent. He was cautionary that this could end up only being a temporary solution. However, to have the vomiting stop for any length of time would be well worth it.
I am hoping that this will then lead us to stopping all the madness of going in circles at our current hospital/Dr location. I have wanted Larry to move from there and go somewhere else for well over a month. Maybe this will now convince him.
Please pray that this procedure is successful and leads us to the Dr's and hospital that will help Larry extend his life.
Love.
