New update on Brian's health status. He has seen his oncologist and she is going to have more tests run on Brian's previous biopsies to determine what treatment will kill the nasty cancer cells. Yesterday he saw his gastroenterologist and is scheduled to have a gastric feeding tube put in today. Brian has lost 12 more pounds since his last visit to CTCA. He has to stay in overnight and isn't a happy camper. However, it will be for the best to have the tube working properly and get the patient education. He needs to beef up to fight the fight! Radiation has started and his pain level has increased so he has gotten more pain medication for the break through pain. Hopefully, he can get to a comfortable level all the time.
Today I am renting a car so we have a little more freedom of movement around the area. It will be nice to take a drive around Lake Michigan or to a movie, etc.. Bye for now, I will keep on posting.
