OK first time blogging so I'm not sure what I am doing.
God I could scream just about sums it up. I am fed up with his cancer!
I am worried and scared.
Came home from work this evening and he calmly informs me that he can't move his left foot properly. He sat on the sofa and sort of pulled his toes towards him, the right ones moved a good couple of inches, but the left ones moved maybe a cm. He then informs me that his arm feels heavy and his left hand feels a bit funny. He has had some back/shoulder pain over recent days.
He refuses to let me call the dr and when I said it could be serious we had an argument. He knows it could be a minor stroke, and still won't call the dr even when we talked about brain mets. He says I am being melodramatic and that he won't tell me anything next time. He has now gone for a walk to the shop to buy cat food.
Am frustrated and angry. To top it all stand in GP won't write the referral for second opinion to Tim Eisen until we have spoken to current oncologist. As we have no way of contacting the oncologist for an actual conversation and no appointment until the end of October and emails have been ignored for a week it doesn't seem likely we will get anywhere. We have no macmillian nurse or anyone whatsoever to contact. Very very P O'd today!!!
