17. "Breakfast club"

Well I guess we'll be waiting until next week for the scan. Our appointment was rescheduled. There was a mix up on the time. We thought it was for 11:00 and it was actually for 10:00.
It's okay though, no news is good news. I sure wish he wasn't feeling so crappy though. He has a bit of a cold and I think it's bothering me more than him (from worry of course). He hasn't been sleeping well either. Think it's sleep apnea. We suspected that he had it before all of this happened but he had lost a lot of weight in the beginning of this whole ordeal and now that he has gained it all back and then some it seems to be giving him trouble again.

On a better note, our homecoming carnival started yesterday and a local band (called Breakfast club)that he likes was playing so we went to watch and listen for a couple of hours.(the best part is that it wasn't raining and it was FREE) They were an 80's band. It brought back lots of memories. My youngest daughter who is 5 LOVES music! She was more entertaining than the band! She was dancing, head banging, lip singing and playing air guitar the whole time! We all had a great time watching her! My sons thought the band was lame of course but that's okay. We all had a good time!
So until next time, Thank you for reading my blog and for all of your support and prayers! God Bless!

16. "One day at a time"

It's been an interesting week. On the 8th we went to see the oncologist and heard some unexpected news. We found out that the scan looked ok right now and the lung cancer wasn't his concern. Keith's echo cardiogram of his heart came back with a report that it is functioning at 25% less strength and that at this time he doesn't want to do any more treatments because it could kill him. He said that he is hopeful that he'll never have to have chemo again. That would be so wonderful!!!

The interesting thing about the cardiologist is the that he wrote the report and we saw him on the day after Keiths release from the hospital last week and he never mentioned it to us. The only thing he said is that he needed his medication changed. I don't understand why we had to hear it from another Dr. I called his office to make sure the Dr. was aware of the test results and that's when I found out that he was the one that had read and wrote the report. Then I found out that the lopresser that he was on was most likely the cause for the test results and that is the real reason for the medication change. He has to go back in 6 weeks to find out if he is feeling any better. It's so frustrating!!

Since he's been home he has been on prednisone though and he has gained more weight (looks like some water weight) and he still has some shortness of breath. I never know how he is going to feel and neither does he. We just take it a day at a time!

On the 23rd he sees the radiation Dr. again and he will get another scan to check the lymph nodes. I truly dread that appointment!! I am praying for the results to be good! I hope the steroids don't effect the test results!

Thank you again for all of your support and prayers!!!!! Until next time God Bless!
