Members Popular Post John9 Posted March 17, 2023 Author Members Popular Post Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Hello all, I had an appointment with my Primary Doctor today to discuss all that is going on. We talked about various issues, but when I reminded her that we discussed my internal bleeding from the tumor, she checked my blood levels and sent me to the ER. She was concerned that if the levels were too low that I would be unable to start my treatments next week. The ER ran tests and did a CT scan to check for active bleeding and after 6 hours all tests came back and they released me because they believe I am stable enough to have my treatments. As I have said before all I can do is what they ask of me, and try my hardest to keep going until this is finally over.

Members Popular Post John9 Posted March 18, 2023 Author Members Popular Post Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hello all, My Doctor wanted me to start on liquid iron, but my insurance says it is an over the counter product and they don't cover it. And of course even though it was supposed to be an OTC product nobody carries it. Our Sons friend works for a company that supplies drugs for nursing home patients and he was able to get me some, not in the correct strength, but their Pharmacist did a conversion for me, hopefully that will help the low iron levels. Also my Doctor put me on a fentanyl patch for my pain and I am supposed to change it every 3 days, it seems to be working, even thouh it says it may take 24-72 hours to reach the full effect. So far so good as far as it helping. Take care, John 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Cosi take care. Gail Thank you, Gail. We were in a 4 hour lull. We're currently in a wind, hail, heavy rain front. The south is forecast to get a harder hit because the storm front is coming up from a southerly track. The storm started just after midnight and by 9 am we'd had nearly an inch. Originally, this was to be a "normal" storm and end early tomorrow. No such luck. The forecast is now for about 2 inches more and for rain to continue through tomorrow evening. Everyone in town, including me, took advantage of the break to run quick errands, walk the dog, or just get outside. We were supposed to have 10-12 days of no rain after this, but the new forecast is for a 3 day storm starting early next week. Cosi and I will snuggle together, regardless of the weather. Every day, little by little, she believes me when I tell her she's home forever. She still wants to be wherever I am, which is good most of the time, except when I need to do my PT in the cat-free room or home maintenance where she could get in the way or be hurt. I discovered this morning that the little one has too much pudge. She was about a pound underweight when I adopted her at 8 lb. As a Bengal she is very active and needs about 10% more calories than average house cats, so I let her have it the first month. I switched up her food a few weeks ago to more wet (nutrient dense for the number of calories) and less kibble (good fiber and veg for digestion). This morning after I weighed myself (woo hoo, down another pound this month; 21 to go), I picked her up: 10.1 lb. The reason, I realized? The little cutie has been conning me out of two-three extra kibble portions every day for 3 weeks! Nope, not going to have either of us unhealthy and too chubby. Of course, she looks at me with the pathetic face and, "I'm soooo starving. You haven't fed me for hours." I'm sure she'll manage. I only buy her the best food and she's not a picky eater. I do not give her people food at all, except 1 tsp cream twice right after I adopted her and was easing her in to her new home. Raleigh's dad and I did the first visual introduction with Cosi on Sunday. I rigged up a temporary screen at the top of the landing. That's what's recommended for the visual phase. They're well through the smelling and hearing each other phases, even sharing blankets back and forth to really integrate their scents. Raleigh and her dad were at the foot of the stairs with treats and Cosi and I were on the landing, also with treats. I knew Raleigh would be fine--she has lived with cats her whole life and is pretty chill. Cosi did really well too. She didn't freak out or get aggressive or hiss or run away. After eating her treats while listening to Raleigh's dad (whom she adores) talk to her and watching Raleigh, she was more curious than anything else and wanted to get through the screen. But we're not ready for that yet, so after 10 minutes, I took her back to the bedroom. We'll do that again during visits for a few weeks and then remove the screen if all goes well. She's an adventure and a sometimes frustrating, loving joy every day.

The Central Coast does span a pretty broad range. Morro Bay weather reports are the closest to me. I don't think our community makes the national weather service. Inland is our county seat of San Luis Obispo. North on the coast are Cambria and San Simeon; south on the coast are Pismo Beach and what's called "The Five Cities"; inland north has Paso Robles and Atascadero, world renown wine appellations. Avila beach and the Diablo Nuclear Power Plant are between Morro Bay and Pismo. Inland from San Luis Obispo is Edna Valley, another world renown wine appellation and where our friends have their award winning small winery. The north end of the Central Coast is Monterey Bay and the south end is Santa Barbara. Our county is smack dab in between them. We're the central Central Coast. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KayC, Yes our Son has been driving me and his friend says he will drive me when our Son can't. I had my first chemotherapy today and immediately had a reaction and they had to stop it and give me something to counteract the effect. It felt like my face was on fire. Luckily the Nurses and technicians were able to restart the drugs just at a slower rate. That did make our Son have to reschedule some of his clients, which he had done already in order to take me. Hopefully next time I will be able to do it quicker. But now I have to "pass" the blood testing each week and hope my numbers are good enough to have the chemotherapy. The drugs that they gave today seem to have worked so far to keep me "normal" . And yes I am fearful of attempting to drive myself, because most of the driving is on the freeway. And if something were to happen the police would wonder if the drugs were a cause. I don't feel like there is anything different, but how many "drunks" have said they are fine to drive and then cause an accident or harm someone. I just don't want to be a burden on anyone.

And yes if my loving wife was still here, maybe I wouldn't even be having these issues right now. I know the grief and stress caused many of my issues and probably at least contributed to the cancer.

Moderators KayC Posted March 23, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Chemo is brutal, no doubt. I've watched my friend Iris go through this every step of the way. She was fortunate to get rides as it's about 140 mile round trip to the cancer center from here. Her husband had long haulers Covid and her cancer, they were fortunate his daughter came and took care of them (from another state no less!) and when she had to leave, another daughter came, it was amazing...my kids can't help me so I'm thankful to have not had to face this, but even with all the support in the world, it's tough. I am committed to praying for you, John, I know this is not a picnic. I'm sorry you had that bad reaction right off the bat. I'm glad they cut it back and it went more tolerable after that. So glad for your son and his friend! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Popular Post John9 Posted March 23, 2023 Author Members Popular Post Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 KayC, I have to say that there is nothing easy about any of this. The feeding tube was supposed to make it easier for me in case I can't continue to eat or drink and it has not been working correctly, and I am losing weight. I spoke to the dietician and the Radiation Oncologist this morning and they are going to try to change the formula to one with less fiber, because they think with the issues I had the fiber is causing the diarrhea because it is acting as an irritant. All I can do is keep trying to follow their instruction. I feel okay-ish, just tired more than anything. Luckily I don't have too much to try to do, just make it to my treatments. Hopefully the next chemotherapy will go better since they say my body should recognize the drugs. I had no issues when I got back to the house as far as the nausea goes, because they gave me many anti-nausea drugs. I joked today that they should give them to me everyday. I take Zofran before the Radiation, but it tastes like "crap". I am very thankful for our Son and his friend and hopefully they won't get sick of helping me.

Members Popular Post foreverhis Posted March 24, 2023 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 You're in my thoughts today and every day, John. I so hope that things start to turn around for you and soon. It's a bit of a relief knowing your son and his friend are there to help you. I think it's unlikely they'll get sick of helping you, though I wouldn't be surprised if one or both of them need short breaks from time to time. It won't mean they're sick of you or don't want to be there. It will simply mean that they need a little time to "recharge" and take care of themselves. Fortunately, with two of them there, they'll be able to help each other as well. Believe me, they love you and want to help you through this. I feel almost guilty or selfish with my own health news. The day before my follow up ultrasound, I got a call from the radiology department. The radiologist was reviewing images for the next day's patients and decided to call in a second doctor. They compared my images from 2 years and 4 years ago to the current one, taking into account that I've lost 25 lb in the interim. It seems my prominent pectoral muscles got more "squished" into the one view and what looked like a lucency was actually a shadow. The other view did not show anything abnormal at all. The upshot is that I do not need an ultrasound right now and my classification was changed to "benign findings" with recommendation for a follow up mammogram in 6 months to be on the safe side and advice to not skip years in the future. I suppose everyone here can understand why I just didn't care overly much in 2019 and 2021. I knew I needed to do my best to be here for our daughter and granddaughter, but sometimes it was really difficult mentally to follow through. It sounds ridiculous when I say it, but I look at Cosi, this beautiful, smart, feisty, slightly crazy, silly, loving girl, and know I need to try to stick around for her sake. It's just the two of us really and I promised her that I'd love and care for her for life. So there it is: I need to stay as healthy as possible for a cat. Of course, I already have multiple, non-life threatening medical conditions, but they only affect my ability to do certain things and not my ability to be her forever human family. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ridiculous at all! I can't bear the thought of leaving Kodie or even Panther, I know Panther would survive as he always has, yet he would miss his family...and Kodie, all he has known is being my companion, here in this home in this neighborhood, and loving Jazzy...change any of that, it'd be really hard for him. He is my incentive to keep going. It's for him I shoveled 13" of heavy wet sludge yesterday and will again today...hoping for a little less today please! I am glad the mammogram didn't display anything heinous and also am glad they'll just keep an eye out in the future, the sooner we can catch something the better.

I am so sorry for what you are going through, John. I cannot help but think our long term grief affects our health in ways we can’t determine. I think of Tnd and know all the stress she was under ….but she literally had no one. Life is so hard especially as we are getting older and it’s so difficult to pull ourselves out of the darkness when we don’t have the one person we need to lean on during the times when we need them the most. But it is a testament to you as a father that your son wants to help you during your illness! You raised him right! It’s obvious he loves you.

Members Popular Post John9 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Members Popular Post Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Hello I’m just checking in letting you know that I’m still in the hospital. They tried to do a feeling today and it went right through me as well. They’re trying to get me strong enough so I can get my treatments but I did not have a treatment today because I’m in a different hospital. Take care John. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Popular Post John9 Posted March 28, 2023 Author Members Popular Post Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Hello all, I’m still in the hospital, I was told this morning that I was being discharged today, and yet I am still waiting 12 hours later. The Doctors want me out so I am able to have my treatments. The Oncologist’s office called me today and said I don’t have any chemotherapy this week, but still have radiation treatments. Hopefully they will figure something out that works better for me. Take care, John 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
