Yay My SO & updates....little wordy

Is coming home from the hospital today:-) He's been in their since last Friday the
11th. First with blood transfusions which is a side affect from chemo, to a staff infection, to minor surgery. He was discharged last weds on the 16th then had his follow-up apt at Moffit.  They decided to  admit him, didn't like some of his levels. Thought his port was infected,  thought he had a stroke since his last visit, which he didn't. He had another minor surgery while there, and is finally being discharged today. But yay my SO's finally coming home, so he can start more chemo next week. We are still hoping that Moffit  will start  him on the b-graph trial soon and  he will be off the chemo,  it makes his body so weak while it fights all the cancer it just sucks.

The b-graph trial is less invasive and from what they tell us more effective than chemo and is an IV drip not chemo treatment.  My SO's  drs. follow-up was last thurs and she didn't show, he had her paged the whole week he was admitted, he had her emailed, he had notes put in his chart and told his local dr they will have to conference call her because he simply doesn't have anymore time to see her since she couldn't show for his appt, Just rude i think. So now we are waiting to hear back from stupid  doctor who thinks she can stop by and see my SO whenever she pleases.

We also we found out today his brother who also has cancer is dying, He was doing better and  now has pneumonia in both lungs and will probably not make it. This is sad news, he's been fighting over a yr, so we may be going to a funeral soon.

    Glad to hear your BF is home.  Shitty news about his brother.  I hope he's able to pull through.
    I'm not good at feelings.

    I'm so happy to hear that your So is coming home.  Great news.  But equally sad to hear about your SO's brother.  I'm sorry and you all are in my thoughts.

    I do not know what this b-graph is, but as a biology nerd, I feel like I should know.  I'm looking it up when I get home, hopefully.
    I'm glad your SO is coming home!  And Moffitt's a good place, but I wasn't aware they were on the 1st coast (isn't that Jax area?)  I kinda thought they were only in Sarasota/Tampa area.  One of my old neighbors works for them.  I hope crazy doctor gets her head on straight soon.  But I do recommend dealing with a doctor that your SO LIKES/respects.  Makes medical things all sorts more easy.

    @ Blue & White. I'm Not too sure either what b-graph treatment is either, other than what SO's told me. Yes you are correct Moffit is an excellent hospital, and we drive from Jax to Tampa for treatments. He undergoes evaluations Monday to see if he qualifies for that treatment and unfortunately his brother passed away today.But my SO is getting stronger daily:-) So good to have him back!!

    Thank You, all. We dont cry much as a couple about all of this, and even though his prognosis is excellent we just  both keep breaking down and crying. I guess we just need it.
