I'm worried!

Things have not been going well this past week. Sally has continued to feel tired and she has developed more swelling of her abdomen. We saw the doctor today who thinks she has fluid in the abdomen (ascites) and that is contributing to her lack of ability to eat much at one time and her shortness of breath. Sally is scheduled to have a tap of the fluid with cytology to see if there are cancer cells in the fluid. She is also scheduled to have another endoscopy of her stomach to follow up on the previous EGD to see the status of the cancer in the wall of her stomach. We should know more in a week.

  2. Thinking of you both! I know this has not been easy, but I was glad to hear Lorrie had some nice visiting with movies and hotdogs recently!
