Daddy's cancer is back. It is around the nerves right below the brain and behind his left eye. That's why he is in so much pain, the cancer is squeezing the nerves.
The Doctor gave two options:
1. He can refer Daddy to UVA, Duke, another Doctor or Medical Facility for a second opinion. But he feels that they will tell us the same thing.
2. Call in Hospice and try to keep him as comfortable and pain free as possible.
At this point unless we can find another Doctor that knows of a new procedure that could be done there is nothing else we can do according to his Doctor. Daddy can't have anymore radiation and the side effects of the chemo outweigh the benefit because their is no chemo that can cure his cancer.
Now we are just waiting to see what Daddy wants to do. We've all expressed that we would at least like him to go to UVA and get a second opinion, but it's up to him and Mom. I'll update again once a decision has been made.
Please put Daddy (& Mama) back on your prayer lists!!!!
Thank you
