An artery gram is a major thing. My husband had one in early September, and they put a bandage on it for secure. He did heal nicely and it went well. The IR surgeon we had a Hopkins was the head of the department and we think the world of him and his entire staff..caring, and full of attention. We followed by celiac plexus block same doctor and then Y90 left lobe and two weeks ago Y90 right lobe. So far so good. I am a nudge with everyone involved and now we have colorectal surgeon meeting next week, followed by gastroenterologist meeting as he had a fecal positive test and has lost a lot of weight and muscle mass and then end of month mri and labs to monitor his progress. Finally with a liver surgeon to assess his situation Also he is on lonsurf..
It is not easy and we have to watch diet as somethings cause nausea and diarrhoea
One thing I have learned as caregiver is you must be the choir director and get all in the choir to sing together which mean that you have to get all departments wherever you are to communicate with you.
All of the departments so far have been great, however oncology is I think overloaded and I keep giving the. Information and ask a lot of questions which sometimes they think are too much. But who really cares I want the best.
Today we have a meeting with oncology nurse practitioner and I will state something that I told our family doctor 40 years ago…
If you don’t know what is wrong I expect the top medical doctors to address the issue, don’t think that the laying on of hands is going to heal…too medical advice and faith go a long way.
You have HOPE and the treatments working for you.
Be blest and keep in touch
