December 3, 2008 - trip to hospital...

Started out to be a routine trip to oncologist and primary care doctors. When giving blood for the visit Paul nearly passed out, got nauseated and dizzy. They rushed him to emergency room and from there - after many tests, etc. - group of cardiologist decided he was in need of a pacemaker. This is something we knew he might someday have to have implanted. He has been having minor problems with dizziness but, of course, with having chemo, etc. you never know for sure. An EKG found the problem.
So, next day he had the pacemaker implanted and is home healing now. Oncologist visted him there in emergency and said the cancer is still about same on ct scan which is great!
One more hurdle over!!
