    Thanks! You guys are great! We did not end up going with hospice, because My dad wasn’t ready to give up:) Through prayer and faith he is doing well! His whole medical record file is on the way from the facility we were at I am going to forward it to Cleveland as soon as I get it!!!

    Thanks Lainy and Gavin! He does have the sarna lotion it seems to help for short periods of time:) Thank you both for your help! Do either of you know how long effects can be felt from the chemo? He hasnt had any since April 2014 but I still see some of the same s/s he had during?

    No fever, and he just heats up in the places he itches, she dismissed him, and we were just at a loss as to what to do. She sent him home to die basically. But he is doing well which is why we are wanting another opinion at a totally different facility!

    Currently he has no Onc. The discharged him to go home with hospice. I am waiting on his medical records from there to hopefully get into another facility ASAP. There are no docs in the local area that manage anything like this. He is not jaundiced, and says he heats up and then gets tacky then the itching starts. It is really bizarre???

    Thank you! We are looking into Cleveland Clinic. He is not currently on any treatments nor has he had any scans. When they sent him home they sent him with hospice but he is a fighter:) We are hopeful to get something scheduled soon with new docs! The two that sent him home were the only ones that he has seen since being diagnosed. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
