Patrick has started the second medication, Temodal, as part of the medical trial. He has 4 more days to go of this one and the Capecitabine and then all medication ends and this treatment cycle is over.
So far seemingly no side effects from the medication but I woke in the middle of the night last night to Patrick in some distress, clearly not aware of his surroundings and unable to talk properly. I called an ambulance and they tested his blood sugar level at 1.7!
I have been concerned about the symtoms for a while but he has not been keen to test levels reguarly. Last night changed his mind on that! Today we are checking blood sugar levels very reguarly in an effort to catch things before they get out of control.
Patrick saw his GP who seemed to want to admit him to hospital but the Nuclear Med guys think this is a symptom of the tumours in the liver (rather than actual diabetes) and think things will improve as the meds kick in over the next month. In the meantime we will monitor closely.
I went back to work today which was a little tough on 4 hours sleep but it has to be done. It is budget time and I need to get it together for the next couple of weeks.
The house renovations continue. The ceilings are going up today and it feels like it is going to come together :-)
