Consultations/Updates

We are meeting with Dr. Klish next week for a consultation about what if any radiology interventions might help Jeff with pain and comfort. We are not for sure if anything will work for Jeff, but we are going to find out. This is the radiological oncologist that I met at the cancer seminar I attended.
Dr. Heeb's (urologist) office says that Jeff is due for a stint change, so that will most likely be scheduled in the next few weeks.
Since Jeff's nerve pain medicine has been increased and he has been off the Oxycontin his pain has been doing much better. We went to a KU game last weekend and he walked the entire time with his cane. Jeff has really been physically pushing himself. We went to the dog park yesterday and walked for a little bit on a trail with the dogs. It was great. Oscar and Jennie were tired when we got home.
We have bumped down the Fentanyl patches by 50mcg for a total of three changes. Once these 3 changes are done then we will bump down another 50 as long as Jeff's pain is still doing okay. The nerve pain medicine might have to be increased through this process.
We have revisited the discussion about possible trial evaluation and Jeff wants to be home for the holidays, so trial discussions are on hold. We will revisit it after the first of the year and see where things are at.
Hope all is well with everyone.
