We dinally have biopsy results and not good. Hubby has sstage 4 unknown primary but spread to other organs, inlcluding (just found out today - lungs and bones) liver, lymph nodes. He has spent the better part of the last three weeks in hospital for various reasons, was supposed to get out yesterday to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with his visiting family but ended up in intensive care with a respirator. This is so hard to deal with and has happened so quickly.
He is retaining fluids very badly and was drained once, got an infection there, picked up a staph infection at hospital and was so swolled on Saturday, he could hardly walk, never mind get into a car and come home. Yesterday he passed out and was sent to ICU. He had his first chemo on Friday and Friday went well. We had thought he would be able to get home for a little while but today looks pretty hopeless to me.
