I would really recommend establishing a Primary Care Provider (PCP) that is close to you and who you and David are comfortable with. Having one physician close to help coordinate all of the other dr's involved in your husbands care makes everything so much easier...at least it did for me.

This also helps regulate prescriptions and lessens the chance of having bad drug interactions as well as giving you a somewhat local contact when something like this does come up that is scary.

This disease is scary, the symptoms and side effects from treatments are scary, the whole process is scary. What's terrifying is the unknown. David is allowing himself to let his terror of the unknown stop him from taking the appropriate actions to his care and that's just wrong. David not only needs to go to an ER or Dr right away he also needs physchological help ASAP. He should really be on an anti-anxiety med and an anti-depressant along with the counseling.

As his caregiver and wife, unfortunately it's your job to make him see that because he isn't seeing it himself. My heart goes out to you dear and I hope I didn't sound harsh above, I'm just that concerned.

You've got me on facebook, send me a PM anytime you need a sounding board or whatever.
