Paul ready to go to the doctors or wherever I will drive him!

We love the van and the lift for the scooter (which he got yesterday) will be installed soon. It will help make his trips to the VA hospital much better as well as parks, malls, etc.

Paul has lost weight but finally gotten his appetite back for most food so he is doing ok. Potassium pills are helping as his was low.

EMG (nerve tests) next Monday to see about his neuropathy and maybe some treatment options.

We are doing ok - one day at a time!

Paul was approved for a scooter like this and we bought a minivan yesterday - getting it soon - that will fit inside with a lift. Should make it easier for him to get around stores, hospital, etc.

He is gaining strength but losing weight - today he ate better so soon should be back to better weight.

Nothing much else going on - just enjoying Fall in CNY!!

Next report after some more tests, etc.

Update....September 2, 2010

Well, all is going pretty good as far as cancer is concerned. Paul was in hospital with pneumonia a couple weeks ago and is weak but gaining slowly. He has tried the fentanyl patch for pain in his back for two weeks now and is having too many side effects. Intends to get off the patch as soon as his doctor recommends what to do then - avoiding withdrawal, etc.
We are not enjoying the hot weather and it is suppose to be cooler this weekend.
Ct scan on lungs in November so until then just hanging out and trying to stay on our feet!
