An Anniversary

One year ago today Bill was put in the hospital because of the DVT (bad blood clot) that he found in his arm.  Because we have a very good family doctor who doesn't take any chances, he ordered a CT scan, which then diagnosed Bill with cancer.  Thus, it all began one year ago today.  Bill sure has been through alot in these past 12 months!

We went in for radiation this morning but met with the doctor first.  She cancelled radiation today, changed the radiation impact for tomorrow and recommended a PEG tube put in asap, due to his inability to swallow food and sometimes liquids.  Bill will have the temporary feeding tube placed in his stomach next Tuesday.  We came home and he rested a bit before we went back to the oncologist for hydration in the afternoon, since he is dehydrated.  A very tiring day.

Thanks to my good friend, Ruth, I had lunch out.  That was so nice to get away for a few hours and visit and catch up.  We've know one another for many, many years - over 30, I believe.  Thanks, Ruth!  It really made my day.
