SpectatorThanks to all of you. So far, our hospice has been wonderful. In particular, his case manager who has already changed her schedule a couple of times to accommodate our issues.
You are all wonderful.

SpectatorMichele, I know how you feel. My husband was diagnosed last July. Since then he has had three drains to relieve the bile, an operation to remove the tumor that did not work. Then, a round of gem cis, and another round of gem sis and another operation to hopefully remove the tumor, but that failed, too. After that more, chemo (stronger). We don’t know if that’s working or not. He has had radiation embolization (radiation beads directed to his liver). He is scheduled this Wednesday for radioembolization for the other side of his liver and then more chemo. In the meantime the chemo and/or the radioembolization is creating havoc (I think) on his memory. We do things in the morning and then he asks what we I’d because he can’t remember. The fatigue he is experiencing has been debilitating. The whole thing really s&@!ks!
Thanks for letting me vent, too.cristerry
