Had quite a scare with Jim - he's been spitting up blood & tissue (about a tablespoon an hr.). His oncologist said there wasn't anything that could be done since he cannot be radiated in that area again and no chemo. Went to radiation Dr. and he ordered a CT scan. Seems like there's a tumor on his trachea and that's what's causing the bleeding. Report reads "tracheal involvement with neoplasm along the left lateral and postero-lateral trachea and may account for the patients slow hemoptysis". Now what does that mean in laymen's terms??? So next steps - go to a pulmonologist to see if he can do a day surgery procedure and hit it with a laser beam....I think they need to name cancer "The Neverending Story"....changed sheets last nite (3) times as he is sweating profusely and drenching the bed. This is becoming more of the norm than ever! My washing machine cringes when I walk up to it....seems to be saying "ENOUGH ALREADY"!!!
