I go to the Cancer clinic tomorrow to find out the results of the PET scan from last week. Like, if it is still contained in the prostate, or has it spread. The PSA count a couple of months ago was 211, because they don't check that level unless you are having problems, which is stupid. None of the blood tests during my 60s even looked at it. I am a major caregiver for my wife since she had a bowel section removed last year in late May. They finally figured out last fall that she has ulcerative colitis, which is yet another autoimmune disorder. Not related to the systemic lupus she has had most of her life, diagnosed about 40 years ago when we got married. We kept that condition at bay (and the fibromyalgia she has had almost as long) with energy work, peaceful home environment, diet, etc. It is a long tale for me to know for a fact I needed to get my thought-life under control in order to actually make progress controlling my emotional activity.
This past week marks the third time since her surgery last year which I have to help her get to the bathroom and back. She had been doing ok with the Entyvio infusions once a month to quiet the bowel, but now anything she eats turns to liquid, and her sphincter isn't doing what it is supposed to do. At this point she is hardly eating anything and again become so weak that it is difficult for her to stand up, etc.
I have to be the last one standing in this household, I hope I hear usable options tomorrow at the clinic.
