Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything, but believe me, I've been reading the board. Jim is doing much better - he finished RAD on 2/14, had a PEG installed on 2/17 and had it removed 3/1. Didn't work for him. Then to add insult to injury, the hole in his belly wouldn't heal. Went to the oncologist, she sent him to regular Dr., gave him more scripts, then had to go back to oncologist, and we were then forwarded to a wound care treatment center. Nothing seemed to work to get this thing healed. So, here it is on July 2nd, and Jim started fiddlin' with the wound with some tweezers and guess what??? They left a tack in his stomach...he pulled it out himself and the hole is closed:-) Yeah! What a fiasco...well now we go back to the Dr. on 7/19 to find out results of the PET. Keep us in your prayers!
