Yesterday was a very productive day. I made an appointment with our family doc, and he was very helpful and as usual VERY supportive. I left his office at 11:30 and by 1:00 home health care was calling saying that and they had contacted Harry Hynes Hospice. I now have new and wonderfully strong people on my team to help us through this!! Hospice came out first and they changed some of his meds...we will give it 24 hours or so to see if they make a positive difference in his nausea and pain, if not we may look into the pain pump....Home Health Care will come out today to appraise the situation. I feel so much comfort in all of this! Should Dave return to KC for more treatments, hospice will bow out of the mix, they are there for us whenever he is no longer undergoing treatments.
When we left KU Med this time, although I feel all of Dave's physical needs were met, we both felt as though we were kicked to the curb because we never were able to see our own Oncologist. The weight of that was very oppressive to me....I am to call his Kansas City office today...but those thoughts I will keep to myself.....
Once again the kindness of others and the strength from friends, have made such an impact on both of us. I don't know how anyone could go through all of this alone. To my "California doc" you are such a strength to me ....Blessings to all......
