Fuck. Bob is back in hospital. Again with a slow onset of vague symptoms. ER today with bloodwork, chest X-rays (showing blood clot in one lung-totally new thing. Oh yay!), Cat Scan(showing changes in mass) and finally an MRI showing clearly a new tumor beneath the old site which supposedly explains the myriad of new symptoms which has sprung up these last few weeks. And 5 hours in the Er. This comes with significant changes in his physical ability. He has facial paralysis and an inability to fully close his left eye, swallow properly. He's at Marin General where doctors are monitoring him closely.
So much to process. We came home early from a vacation to Bodega Bay on Friday morning. Our first a while. Cancer intercedes with any plans you might think you have. Glad I'm a paranoid nag. The attending MD said thank goodness you got him here when you did. More radiation again. Bob doesn't want surgery again. I don't want that for hi either. I don't want any of this. I have a colonoscopy and an endoscopy scheduled next week. I'm just trying to get through this until then. I'm okay.
