Still Here
After discussing further about the “progression,” it turns out that this is really just the term used because there are signs of the cancer furthering, such as the blood clot not healing, the plural effusion, etc. It does not necessarily mean that I have the cancer taking over. My big concern right now is regaining my strength to walk again so I can have some freedom and get out of this room. I have been in here for about 10 days without being outside. I think I have been in bed for a total of three weeks now, and I am sure that my muscles have lost a decent amount of strength. I believe that the internal medicine doc said that they were going to send a physical therapist down to help out.
