We went up for FOLOX+A, first treatment since Dec 26. Sort of glad to be back into the routine. New scheduling system causing problems for us (a 3 hour wait between Dr and infusion? no thanks) but perhaps they will get it worked out.
Robino, if all goes well we are headed to Fort Lauderdale in 10 days: please order some extra warm weather for us. The OX really makes DH cold.
Hugs to all,
M

I don’t know what to say, but I know you’ve all been very supportive and kind to me and Mr Ziggy. I wish I had better news to report. Today Mr Ziggy is getting stents put in his ureters due to some kidney stones and disease blockage. Hopefully they can he’s still a bit weak. He has absolutely no pain at all thank God. Never has had pain, just weakness and nausea. The stents will hopefully help with that. No blockages in intestines, but inflammation where they reconnected his small and large colon. So eating is a problem, can’t put feeding tube in.
So the nurse at Sloan called me Monday. Nothing is stopping his particular disease and he can’t physically handle more treatment. Sloan and local hospital recommend hospice now. And recommending in patient at that. The nurse called again from Sloan (on speaker phone) and told both Mr Ziggy and I. As kind and compassionate as she was, shouldn’t the doctor have done that? I don’t know how I feel about that. Of course we are both sad, but I’m not surprised. I want to wish only the best for all of you! You are all great people and I hope and pray you all continue to do well and enjoy life! God bless
