It's been almost 2 weeks since Daddy's final cyberknife treatment. The pain seems to be a little better. He still needs the pain patch but he's not needing the morphine as often. He is very, very weak and the RN that is in charge of the treatments said that it may last another 2 to 4 weeks. Most days Daddy sleeps 20 hours a day.
Mom asked Dr. Heath if he thought the cyberknife got all the cancer. He said he wouldn't know until we were a couple more weeks out and we see how Daddy is doing. He said that he had never had this type of cancer move upward like it has and that he hasn't done the cyberknife in this area so he's not sure what the outcome is going to be. Basically a "wait and see" approach. If Daddy's pain gets better and better then they will start weaning him off the pain meds and do a PET scan in several months.
Daddy's kidneys continue to be an issue and according to his blood work this past Monday they have declined even more. However no Doctor has addressed this issue other than to tell us they are worse.
I wish I had better news to report. Each day just seems to be more of the same right now. He does have several Doctor appointments next week with several different Doctors so maybe we will have more news.
