Monday appointment update
Hi all - the appointment went as expected. We just talked about what has been going on with Scott and medications he is on, and what ones we will reduce and/or quit.
Regarding Scott's trouble with his stomach, Tanya, NP suspects that it is a problem with acid reflux, brought on by the radiation most likely, so she just increased a medication. All Scott's blood work looked good, considering he has just been off the chemo/radiation for 11 days.
I was happy to see another gentleman we saw daily while we were going thorough the same treatment for pancreatic cancer. He looked so much better, his wife said he has gained 16 pounds and his first tests show no sign of the tumor, (his tumor was in the opposite end (head), and he had surgery first,) he will soon start the 3rd phase of the additional chemo. I am guessing that the Doc's are watching these guys closely to see how they both fair with different routes of treatment. For sure Scott faired much better with the 5 1/2 weeks of treatment, this poor sole was in the wheelchair some days, and on intervenious feeding a few weeks to get through. He looks and feels "just great" he said.
We look forward to our re-check appointments on April 15th and on the 18th.
Scott seems better each and everyday.
Keep the thoughts and prayers coming.
