Cancer sucks. But we can live with it, fight it, and maybe even defeat it. This is my story. I hope it helps a patient, a caregiver or a loved one.

Short and Sweet (Well Not Really Sweet)
I was trying to go three weeks before having another paracentesis treatment but didn't make it. On Thursday night I suffered and thankfully Dr. George's office was able to get me set up for it on Friday. Terry had to shovel us out of the snow which made me feel real bad. But we got to the hospital and had it done. They took out 6 liters, the maximum that Dr. George prescribed. But after 6 liters the flow was still strong and the radiologist said there was a lot more. When I woke up Saturday morning it felt as if I didn't even have it done. I could tell there was more fluid.
I have been feeling extremely fatigued and lacking of any meaningful energy. I'm having unusual pains. I sleep 12 to 13 hours a day. Tomorrow I will talk to Dr. George to try to determine if I'm feeling this way because of the chemo, the disease or the ascites. Then I'll decide what to do next.
Carry On.
Don't you just wish they could put in a drain?
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, Jerry. You're such a fighter!
(((((hugs))))) Hope you Dr. George finds some way to give you some relief tomorrow. Thank you so much for updating all of us. I think of you often.
ReplyDeleteJerry -- they do have permanent catheters for ascites. Seems better than the frequent draining. Easier on you -- and no build-up. Ask about it.
