Well we thought we were going for a bone marrow biopsy today but it was just a consultation.We did find out He has CLL Leukemia , Lung cancer and the lymph nodes were cancerous.We will go later on for bone marrow test and Pet scan.They have to get all the tests before making a plan.The meds are really making him hungry and he's eating well.This am he was 115 pounds and when we got to the cancer center he weighed 118 pounds.Tonight he ate like his old self and said it was delicious.Thank each one of you for all the prayers.
The medication is helping his appetite and he's up to 114 pounds but he's starting to swell in the feet and legs...not good.I was misinformed thinking we were going for bone marrow biopsy but we're not - we are going to have a conference on what they have found and what is the next step for us.I'll report on that tomorrow.Thank you all for prayers.
Yesterday I cooked us a ribeye steak and a baked potato ,we split the steak between us and tonight we had taco salad.The meds are stimulating his appetite and he's gaining a few pounds, Thank the good Lord.
I thank each and everyone of you for the prayers, I can feel them.
Bacon and tomato sandwiches my husbands request.
Chocomouse & Skeptic safe traveling.I'm sorry I haven't updated you all ,it been a hectic week.After we got home Monday from the tests our doctor called and said to go straight to the hospital.After a lot of tests and CT scans they decided he probably has CLL Leukemia or a cancer.They ran the light down and got biopsy of lung and lymph nodes.We will go Tuesday for bone marrow test.When we got to the hospital Monday they said his white blood cell count was 162-K had a very enlarged spleen,chest exrays showed a large necrotic mass on right bottom lung, weight dropped to 104.We have been at the hospital all week ,got home today.I've been going back and forth because we have our little dog.Home health care are suppose to come tomorrow.Thank you all for the prayers we appreciate them very much.
We had BLT.
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers.My husbands regular weight use to be 145 poundsWe went to the doctor today and my husband is down from 124 pounds in March to 108 pounds today fully clothed with a jacket on .In March he went to doctor but wouldn't get x-ray but now he is willing to try to get better.We will go Monday for blood work and x-rays and then we'll see what shows up.The doctors said he has seen this before and may not be able to do anything but can send him for infusion or something to build him up maybe.He gave him megace for his appetite, prednisone and some cough meds that helps him sleep.He's been on inhaler of Trelegy and the nebulizer with albuterol for sometime but the smoking has really made it difficult for him.We're taking it one day at a time.
We had chargrilled chicken,thickened potatoes and stewed squash.My husband hardly ate anything.
I made my husband a hamburger steak and baked potato, I had a potato and sandwich.
My husband decided today he'll go see the doctor tomorrow, we have a 8:30 am appointment so we shall see.
I had a hamburger on light bread and my husband had cereal.Thanks Bakeraunt for the prayers.
I thank each of you for prayers.He sleeps a lot and has lost so much weight he told me when he looks at himself in the mirror he sees the photos of men that went through the Holocaust and yes that's what he looks like...skin over bones.All his muscles have dried up in the body eating itself up.He is probably eat up with cancer and he will not go to the doctor.When he had covid in 2020 they told him he had a spot on his lung and he wouldn't get it checked out.Stubborn.He knows he has COPD but we are taking it one day at a time.He is very weak, can't do much and probably only eats about a cup of food all day and drinks very little. He says nothing tastes good.I thank each of you and will keep you updated.I know our precious God will see us through this.
I made a small pot of lima bean soup with leftover lima beans and rice.I had some chicken stock (gel) from a baked chicken so I put that in a pot with a ripe chopped tomato I needed to use with 2 ribs of celery,one carrot and about a half cup of onion and some water.,when that was done I added in the beans and rice.One of my husbands favorite soups but he only ate about a cupful.He isn't eating hardly anything or drinking either.
We had spaghetti and meat sauce from the freezer and garlic toast.
Love the baby back ribs Navlys sounds great.
