My husband is back in hospital. An infection that has turned into sepsis is what caused hospital admission.He has had head chest and abdomen scans. The head scan shows prostate cancer metastasis in his neck at the base of his spine. Oncology say they do not consider it necessary to take any new actions.
My husband is very confused, has muscle weakness in his arms and legs to the extent that he has difficulty holding and drinking from a cup, struggles, due to temblor in his hands to use a knife and fork and his mobile phone. Hospital staff haven’t located the source of infection but are guessing the catheter is the culprit. After 24 hours in hospital and at my insistence they changed his catheter this evening and sent samples from the old one off for analysis.
I hope the cause of his very poorly condition is due to infection and not linked to the cancer which is everywhere except for his vital organs…thank goodness.
Does anyone have experience of cancer metastasis in the base of the neck joining the skull and what can be done about it. Sometimes it be best to do nothing. I would be grateful to of the experiences of any of you. Thank you. I am feeling distraught and just want my husband home again.
