Not good news here.

My dad was hospitalized last week and this week with infections and has been complaining of numbness in his right groin, hip and now extending across his back…He had an MRI Oct.29, three CT’s since then, one a week, and then a MRCP on Tuesday. We just found out yesterday his right lobe of his liver now looks worse than the left lobe, which is the one we have been worried about since March (his left lobe looks like a deflated balloon with swiss cheese on it. It is just so disappointing. I know setbacks are a way of life these days, but we have come through so much and I am just so surprised the MRI’s are night and day in less than three weeks. I asked, twice, to make sure they were not switched! That is how bad the right lobe looks now. We did get to come home from the hospital last night, but we are seeing the Oncologist Monday morning. At the moment, my dad’s bilirubin is fine, so we might do some chemo, but with this blood infection, recent MRSA, a wound vac and his general declining health, I don’t have confidence the Onc. is going to jump in.

My dad has also been very lucky to had gained back enough weight since his original surgery, but he is down 10-12 pounds in the last week or so. He eats, but I am not sure there is any nutrition staying.
