NO PAIN MANAGEMENT FOR GARY

Wow.
Like I said before every single day changes with cancer.

We went to the doc today for our pain management appointment at 2:45.

Gary has not been feeling up to par and he has been sweating and has had some random fevers. So, I forced him to go into the office before his appointment today to get his counts checked. I was mainly wanting to check his white cell counts.
Sure enough, his white cells are elevated which more than likely indicates an infection.

I went back to the pharmacy again tonight and picked up his 2 antibiotics. The doctors will meet again on Monday to discuss Gary's case. He will have a cholangiogram on Monday. This is a procedure where they can take a closer look at the liver and the bile ducts via dye and a CT Scan.

Then, Gary will have the pain management on Tuesday and then the chemoembolism to the liver on Wednesday. Remember, with cancer everything is subject to change each day!

I am on my way to get my Dad from the airport. I will be in and out all weekend!

Love, L
