just thought i would give a brief update. since last post George has been hospitalized at least 8 times for delirium. He is in the hospital right now recovering from a horrendous episode on Saturday. he gets very agitated and starts flailing and hittting himself. he gets a very high fever and shivers uncontrollably and bowel incontinence. i worked with palliative care on the phone until i needed to call an ambulance. after injecting him with a large dose of haldol they got him under control. they did a ct scan on his head and then an ultrasound on his abdomen. no mets to his brain but the ab scan confirms liver and bowel mets which explains the toxins being dumped into the bloodstream. they are sending him home tomorrow on haldol 4x a day along with his paid meds. they have not indicated how much time is he has or what to expect next. has anyone had this type of experience?
He still has a lot of strength. We went to a Blue Jays game on Saturday and he managed well. He could not understand the scoreboard which is alarming because he eats, sleeps and breathes baseball. He is getting alot of small red dots on his abdomen now and his ascites seems to come and go. So all in all, he is still very stable. Lainy, he doesn’t see his oncologist anymore, just palliative care.
My husband is quite stable still but has developed difficulty swallowing. Not all the time but sometimes….has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks Lainy. His oncologist, surgeon and palliative care doctor all believe this is the case. They believe the cancer has mets to his bowels and stomach. His newest sympton is sulphur smelling burps that could clear a room…..is that the cancer? I forgot to mention that he was hospitalized for 2 weeks in April with sepsis…the symptoms for that came on in only a couple of hours. Lainy please send me the list. Any information i can get will help me.
