Cancer is one of the most frustrating things to deal with. My husband is now in stage 4. Tuesday he had a CT Scan, usually the doctor makes us wait until his next appointment to get the results. This time because of some of his systems he is having she said she would give me the results over the phone the next day because she could tell how worried I was. Well when she called me the stupid person who did the comparison compared this one to one he had in January instead of the one he had the end of June. So needless to say we don't have an accurate reading.
Then I told her that he has a lump on the right side of his neck (this is where one of the tumors was original. The only one that responded well to chemo) and the right side of his face is swollan. She said that the scan of his neck did not show anything and she was wondering if they didn't do the scan high enough on his neck. She did say she was concerned at that point. She call the place where we had the scan and told them redo the comparison.
The only thing that she did say was that looking at the reading there wasn't anything life threatening.
Some days I can't stand it waiting for the other shoe to fall. My husband was crying yesterday because he is affraid he is going to suffer. He has been so sick lately. I don't know what do to help him. He wants to do things but he doesn't know what he wants to do. I give suggestion and he doesn't want to do them either. He was up-set that it took him 2 hours to get out of bed yesterday.
What do I do any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
