Hi Sally, Happy to hearsal314 said:Update on Father
Well, my dad was released from the hospital late yesterday afternoon. There is good news/bad news...with his CT brain scan results. Good news is NO brain mets! Thank you Lord! But it was discovered that he had a small mini stroke. That was somewhat surprising to all of us, including his doctor. But, it would explain all his symptoms. Not sure what, if any, long term effects it will have on him. But it makes his whole situation more complicated because it now rules out certain drug options available for the mets because of his clot history and now the stroke.
He's still going to get radiation to the tumor sight for 2 weeks. And will meet with his oncologist sometime this week. Have no idea what the next plan of action will be. He has so many different issues going on, it makes for a complicated case. Ugh.
I'm just praying no emergency come up this week, as we are suppose to have a mega snow storm (they're saying 20 inches of snow!) and I worry that if he needs immediate medical care, it will be extemely difficult to get to the hospital no matter the means!
Blessings,
Sally
Hi Sally, Happy to hear there are no brain mets. Do the doctors think the stroke was recent? I know it's hard--just one more thing to complicate matters. Praying your dad will not have an emergency during the snow storm. Being from georgia I can't even imagine 20 inchs of snow!
Prayers are with you and family, Sandra
