Jesse is in some pain the doc is going to send a prescription for a pain patchwill be here Mon.He hates for you to mention food to him.He gets hungry but a few bites wil do him nothing taste good to him.I feel so alone in this battle because he is always talking about dying.Thanks to everyone for the good advice God is the only answer .Mary
I would to know what to expect Jesse went to oncology 2 wks ago his billirubin went to 20.5 They offered us hospice but he said he is not ready yet.In the last week his condition is worse he is eating much less because he is either Having reflux or vomiting every time he eats.I know he is getting worse but don’t want to mention hospice until he does.I am really worried.He sleeps alot Please if anyone knows what to expect let me know Thanks
The MRI that was just taken nothing changed the cancer is still stable.They are just going to watch him .No radiation at this time.WE are hoping the billirubin will go down and some life might get back to normal.The drain is working but not very good does anyone have any thoughts on this.He is still very jaundice.We go back to doctors on May 3rd.
jesse is very weak losing 2 pounds a week don’t help.He is more jaundice than I have ever seen him.His eating habits have got worse he gets hungry but after first few bites he is done.
Jesse went to radiolgist we dont know what his plans are we have to have another Mri to determine if he can have a localized treatment.The doc says he might be able to do two light treatments a day.Does anyone know if this will take the billirubin down? He says it could do harm to Jesse’s liver maybe shut it down or cause him to have more blockages .Lots of discissions to be made.It is to the point we dont know what to do.
We went back to dr for another blood test hid billiruben was 12.8.They say no chemo can br done until it get to 4.They are sending us back to Radiation on Mon.11th.To see if he can do a localizez area.The doc.said Chemo would be toxic
It has been 2 weeks since the drain was fitted.The billiruben did go up to 11 after it was fitted.The next week it went down to9.9 but this week it went to 12.WE will know when they start the Chemo April 5TH at that time they will do another blood test to see what the billiruben is doing.
The drain is draining good but not helping.The bile ducts are obstructed.He doesn’t have a infection.
jesse has just got out of the hospital.His belliruben went to 11. They placed a drain tube in his bile duct.He is still very jaundice.He goes back to see to get results of blood work tomorrow.Like somone said we are on a roller coaster ride.
In 2007 they reconstructed the bile duct and now since he is having trouble again.They say that no stint can be put in.He was in the hospital in Dec.2010 it was infection and he dehydrated.they got it back down by inserting a bag running from bile duct to drain it.They took the bag back out because it quit working they think it is because of obstruction.We dont know what is next other than another blood test April 1st and a Cat scan in May
Hi Kristin,I live near Shelbyville, ky. We use to come to Berea to the Bishop homecomming every year. I just wondered who your oncologist was. Mine is Dr. Chambers. Also how did switching work out better? God Bless and have a great day. Jesse
Hi Lainy, I am From Ky near Lexington. I have been going to the Markey Cancer center in Lexington. To give you a little update when i had the whipple they could not get all the cancer. So they did not do the complete whipple. I did chemo after the surgery and the cancer was gone. That was in 2007. In Dec of 2009 the cancer was back. I have had radiation and chemo and the tumor is smaller. So now we are in wait and see mode. I will have a mri in May. Jesse
Hi everyone, Its been awhile. I just wanted to update you. My cancer returned in Nov. Ihave gone thru radiation and chemo pills(xeloda). The tumor is smaller but is still there. I am just in a wait and see mode right now. I go back for another mri in May. I trust im my Lord and I know his will will be done. God Bless you all and just hang on. Jesse
Its been Two years since I had whipple surgery. My cancer is gone ,but I have a lot of trouble with charlie horses in my stomach. Has anyone else have this problem?
