Cancer and Stomach Scares

March 8, 2009 - 6:48am 303 reads 0 comments

I was way behind on the time released pain meds and there was nothing new even scheduled! Finally, at 11pm I was admitted to a room in the hospital!

So here I am now just waiting. We are waiting for the rounding docs (who won’t be able to tell me anything new) and the on call oncology doc. The hospital has not found anything that has stood out from the tests, and I’m afraid they are going to send me home without any solution, except for just “playing around with the quantity of my meds”. All I know is that mentally and physically I can’t go through another stomach episode. I want to have some sort of solution to this besides just brushing it off as “chemo side effects”. I am able to tolerate a huge amount of pain, nausea, and mind games from the meds. This stomach thing though is beyond bearable.
