Thanks everyone for your input. But Friday the 27th the day we were to go to for the CT Scan. Was A Day we would Like to forget. I came home to a horror scene I walked into my house to a sight I wish I could forget there was blood everywhere in the kitchen the bathroom all over the walls. And my dear Brian was no where to be found my neighbors told me they had seen an ambulance leave shortly before I came home. I was put in the family room at the hospital where I thought I had lost my Brian. The ENT came in to tell me he had bled out from one of the vessels in his throat where there was a large ULCER that had exposed bone. Apparently thats where all this pain was coming from. They cortized it and he had to be given 6 liters of blood his heart had stopped once and they were not sure of brain damage. They quickly med flighted him to Mass General in Boston where he stayed for 5 days in ICU he was on a ventilator but is now breathing on his own. he has been given a trech, they can not guarantee this will not happen again. They had taken a biopsy to see if the ulcer was cancerous and if it was they would be able to do nothing for him because it would be to close to his spinal cord and they would have to take the whole tongue. So we had to wait 3 LONG days to finnally get the Answer that the tissue in the ulcer was not cancer. Apparently this is all from the radiation. Thankfully there is no Brain damage, he has been moved to mass eye and ear in Boston. And is having problems with swelling in his legs and is very weak and still in alot of pain. The hyberbaric chamber is not an option at this point because of all the swelling. They want to send him home tommorow but we are fighting that because he just is not ready his legs are so swollen that the fluid is leaking out of his pores. I question if its from all the fluid he got in ICU like they think it is or if something else is going on. And the pain is still an issue. either they have him completly zonked out or not enough so we have to Manage that. I am so thankful my 15 year old daughter did not come home on the bus that day. I will never forget what I saw. My 19 year old who is at school is also having a difficult time dealing with all this. We were told that this does happen to cancer patients but its rare. The drs can't believe he made it to phone, he has a strong will to live they said but they did'nt need to tell me that. He was looking forward to trying to start slowly back to work this month for his peace of mind and to keep the health insurance. What a set Back I HATE THIS CANCER. And now he has to live with the possibility of this happening again.
Please keep him in your prayers
Thanks for your support.
Take care
