Hi all:
jenjilks/carlyn/natr - thank you for your positive thoughts and support - they truly meant a lot!!!
JenJilks - how did radioligist go? Let me know please. Positive thoguths your way
I've been in a totally NEW place for last month due to a lot of new ways of looking at things and places and werid but in a different space...
My son's dad has been eating - eating and eating woohooo, for just over a month he looks good, only thing that gets to him is his mouth, taste buds etc., wretching a bit still but not anywhere near like he was. He is in a much better place for sure.
He thought for sure he had gained 10lbs for sure due to eating and went to the dr's 2 weeks ago and he has lost weight? Strange, his blood pressure was way low but that would not affect his weight so they ajusted his blood pressure pills. During treatments he went from 206-209lbs down to 160lbs back up to 165 then 169, then 2 weeks ago he was at 164 now he's at 157? Very strange and that concerns him a lot he wants togain weight. We'll have to wait and see, my gut says it has something to do with his thyroid but will wait and see what the scan says.
PET scan takes place on Sept 23rd, hoping for the best results, praying like crazy.
He wants to go back to work cuz he is so bored, so that is a good thing but will not do so til Nov if all goes well with the scan.
His hearing is so not good now. He still has the chemo brain thing, I'm thinking that might not go away as his hearing will probably not ever get better also. He forgets things or does not do them NOT because he does NOT want to but he just does NOT think on them, if that makes sense?
Overall he is doing a hell of a lot better than others who have gone through what he has, Dr's have said as much also. So we'll go with that!!!
As for my son he is doing really well, he has always thought positive and will only go with the positive aspects of things period. He is such a blessing he so is.
I am still doing day by day. He was doing well enough that I got away 2nd week of aug. all by myself for 6 days which was great., house sat at a friends., came back with NEW perspective, I meditated a lot and really concentrated on ME and only me - wow. So helped it truly did my mind body and spirit wonders.
When I returned I saw his dad really saw him, his mind not the same as it was, I would ask him something and he would just look off & I would wait a few minutes and he would look at me like what, are you going to answer my question and I would ask again and then he would answer. That when it occurred to me he does NOT drink water because he just doesn't THINK of doing so., he has no clue how much water he has or hasnt drank. He literally does not THINK to drink the water, hmm? He went out with 2 different shoes on - 1 being a sandal the other being a dress shoe and didnt realize for 1 1/2 hrs, he thought this was hilarious that he didnt know. We'll have to see - I remind him to take his medications every day he openly admitted to me that I NEED to help - remind him to do so.
So hope you are all ok, let me know what is going on with you all, been busy and trying to let go and not be as concerned as I was and release so I can move forward with MY life and its harder than I thought, not to worry as much.
Take care you all
