Update to Down the Road Thread,,,Roadblock

[loknload]

Well it seems I've it a roadblock in my Cancer treatment adventure. Seems that while I was waiting for my pet scan to come due I have been losing my breath quite frequently and have choking and coughing spells.
As of yesterday morning I thought I was suffocating while choking at the same time. Very scary situation. After getting through this we called the ambulance and I am now sitting in a critical care room on O2 and taking in antibiotics.
Seems the cancer growth has partially closed my airway to my good lung. With being done not enough air is going and waste product is not being removed. Thus there was a backup of waste which now turned infectious and turned to pneumonia!
Double whammy cancer and pneumonia in one good lung! Plus the upper part of the lung has collapsed
SoI am hospitalized until ???? Have to cure the pneumonia before they can tread the cancer!
So I'm sitting with oxygen going in my nose and antibiotics in my arm until ? And then they decide when to treat the cancer.....
Cancer Sucks....So does Pneumonia! But Cancer sucks worse!

It sounds like you've got good care and are on the right track. We're expecting good news soon. In the meantime, I've put in a good word for you with the Chief Pilot.

Having twice been hospitalized for pneumonia I understand the misery involved.

Ruthie, the kids and I will step up our prayers for you and your family.

Prayers for you sir and for Doctors and staff taking care of you. I've been there with tube down my throat and IV's stuck in my arm . It was torture watching the hamburger and pizza commercials on TV when all I could have was crushed ice and Jello. Get Well !

No one at this point has liked your post because there is nothing about it to like. But we can certainly like the fact that the forum members are pulling for you and those that pray are sending petitions on your behalf.
