The first cataract surgery went great they expected the original to be sticky but came out fine.!

So we're a little over 2 months from colon resection and HAI pump placement. It's the first time I've seen A cea count since before surgery and maybe they calculate different from our cancer center but it was over 1,000!? He hasn't been back in systemic yet, taking cues from his body to take the max...

So scans are coming but we were hit with another bombshell...

CATARACTS... both eyes

Likely from the steroids used for chemo/ side effects. Anyone is else handed that happen. Now looking into surgery for that.

Gina I worry about the mop up time frame with my hubby he hasn't been back on systemic since before surgery just the hai

it is hard to not feel like our fates are intermingled. I like to think of myself as a very empathetic person where DH is concerned. I feel a lot of random things and when I talk to him about it its something that he's feeling or felt. It makes me nervous sometimes. Recently though DH lost his gran...

For life after HAI pump placement, DH has a gelling that the pump shifts position on him and I was curious if anyone had tried a "belly band" what brand is best anyway?

Did any of you with the pump ever experience some liver pain while getting your pump chemo? DH has been struggling a little with that and a 2 week long stint of morning sickness while the chemo works through his liver. He refuses to take anything and has tried a bunch of other tricks that don't see...

Whatever toy celebrate or don't it's my wish to your all that you have a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year!

"You are preaching to the choir Juliej you can't tell him anything he has to fallon his face to 'get it'" omg....sounds just like my husband... only he has to fall again and again and again before he gets it. Exasperating. Glad I'm not the only one! Luckily the fluid came back as.... flui...

He thinks this happened because he pushed himself to hard physically to get better quicker from surgery. Example: BEFORE surgery he would walk on the treadmill (during crappy weather) at 1-2 mph AFTER surgery he pushed himself up to 4-5 mph Whoa! That's a big change! Tell him he needs to go sloooow...

Ugh. That sounds gross. Hope it clears up quickly! It sounds worse than how it looks. We will probably find out the results of them testing it Monday. He seems to be doing better although I attribute that to actually taking his antibiotic at home this time. He thinks this happened because he pushed...

So its an infection and currently waiting for some of the fluid around the pump to be extracted for testing

His incision site is distended and looks like we'll probably be doing a scan today

So questions abound. I try not to stress over too much, after all Christmas is around the corner and my wonderful husband had the greatest surgery to get him on track for a long life with his nagging wife :) He has been losing a lot of weight, his appetite after surgery hasn't been at 100% but 4 wee...
