3boys4amy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 He was supposed to go to Ashland today to meet with the radiation oncologist to discuss options. He got started and got very ill with vomiting on the way, so they turned around and went home. He is rescheduled for October 30th. His girlfriend is very worried about him. From what she told me, he was told that they might not do radiation and go straight to chemo. I told them about the Avastin that was recommended and they are going to ask about that. Do you think that this vomiting has anything to do with the cancer? Also, Dad finally admitted to me last night that he is in quite a bit of pain. The doctors have him still on Morphine and Percocet.

Nick C Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm no doctor, but if he is in pain, and sick, and wanting to fight, October 30 seems a little too far in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 If your dad is in pain and vomiting, he should see a doctor right away. Maybe the morphine is causing the nausea. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3boys4amy Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Well, he has been on the morphine now for 2 years, so I wouldn't think that it would all of a sudden cause the nausea, or would it? I agree, October 30th seems way too far out for me. I asked them why so long and his girlfriend told me that it was the first available appointment. He goes back to his regular oncologist next week. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelepal Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I wouldn't wait!! Bring him to the ER if he is in pain and at that point his DR will have to see him.. Love, Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
