What next?

So it has been awhile since I last wrote. Things have been a little crazy, and I haven't had much quiet time to myself to write.

Where we are now.....We had an MRI done last week, and it showed a couple of things, nothing difinitive of course cause that would be to easy, but it did show some concern. He has been retaining fluid for the last two weeks, which isn't good. The oncologist wrote it off as " needing more protein in his diet". Seriously?!?!? I may not have an MD behind my name, but that seems a little like bullshit to me. The mRi showed some "grey" areas along the lumbar area, and some fluid in the abdomen. His wonderful doctor once again said " there was nothing there to be concerned about". Is this guy for real?!?!? I mean I get the whole keeping my husbands spirits lifted, but to lie?? I am pretty sure "nothing" cannot be what is causing my husband a hellified amount of pain.

So we re-visited the radiation oncologist, whom we saw in 2007, but I just got to meet for the fist time yesterday. I like him ALOT. He re-confirmed my suspicion that it isn't nothing, and that we have reason to be concerned. He ordered a PETscan immediately, to which we find out the results of this coming Tuesday. This one will show the whole body, and I can do my own comparisons to any previous scans. Worried, yes. But I feel safe in this docs hands, cause he seems alot more on top of things than Dr.Oblivious.

The nurse practicioner at Dr.Oblivious's office who sees my husband every Monday, has told us that we need to "prepare". Dr.Oblivious on the other had avoids any talk of the "end. It has gooten so bad with his advoidance that I am ready to sue the pants off of his for the emotional and mental anguish of my children that he will be causing in the future by not telling my husnad the truth. I don't want his money, I just want a point made that, skipping around the real issue causes more harm than good, and this is children we are talking about, not adults! My conclusion on him, he's an ass. Point blank.
