I haven’t been on this page for a while. Since my husband’s recent discharge from hospital we hoped things would settle down for at least a few months.
His PSA has dropped to 2 which the oncologist said is good. Unfortunately the lymphoma has decided not to play the game and he has sore oozing spots on his legs again. His recent hospital admission was for cellulitis and build up of fluid in his lungs. He has only been home for four weeks and we fear a reoccurrence of the infection. I called DN’s on Friday, they visited on Saturday and said because his legs were not too hot not to worry but to keep an eye on them. That’s not much help to the untrained carer/wife. I will phone GP in the morning in the hope of getting a second opinion.
my husband is afraid of going back to hospital and I don’t want him to go. Our local hospital is very overcrowded and although they do a fantastic job with patients it’s not the most welcoming and caring place to stay. The food is awful and staff are overstretched. Beside all that doctors have said there isn’t much more they can do for my husband other than make him comfortable. I am so scared and anxious about what I know is the inevitable outcome of all this. Just needed to say this to people who have been through this ordeal or similar.
