Friends, please keep me in your thoughts. I've been sick for a little while now (started in mid-Aug). I'm currently experiencing some chest pain and discomfort. Friday, my blood pressure was 170/111 (and that's not the first time it hit that mark or higher). And yet a abdominal CT scan hasn't given us any answers. It was already pretty scary - and since I got the kids down, I've been feeling very flush. I usually run around 97 - so I'm good for the moment (it's at 98.8) but I honestly don't want to go to sleep in case something happens.

Not sure if that bsmc is military medical training, but if it is, you have some great medical knowledge. Don't postpone getting it resolved. 4 or more months is a long time. Don't hesitate to call 911 if you need to. My son, firefighter/paramedic, tells me always, 'that's what we're here for dad'.

Keeping you in my prayers, thoughts. Be well. 's

Thanks. It's my name, lol. I did go in - nothing tangible. But at least I got it checked out.

Ahh, I thought maybe military medical, ha. Glad to hear you are following up on it. Don't give up on it.

...many prayers needed for my DH Ron, who was just diagnosed with Stage 3 prostate cancer. Surgery set for February 28 [trying to push it for the 14th] but it's an aggressive form....

 

[Dan Murphy]

Ron, and you also, Kim, both have my prayers. Prayers that Ron is able to get the earlier date and has a full, speedy recovery. Good wishes, Kim. 's

.....thanks Dan, old friend! He's really going to need them. To top it off, I'm at the end of my "knee" rope....last resort: I'll need a knee replacement. I have a slight tear in my meniscus and no more cartilage in my knee. The doctor thinks there may be a small piece floating around in there....that's secondary compared to my DH's health issues.

Any luck, Kim, getting earlier date?

Any luck, Kim, getting earlier date?

....no, but there is some promising news: he had a PET scan done on Tuesday and yesterday the doctor's assistant called, leaving a message on his cell that the cancer actually is still contained INSIDE the wall of the prostate and has not spread outside....

Well that's great news, Kim! Good to hear that. On to the next step now.

No, sadly. I went into the ER a week or so ago with a BP of 189/99. Lots of symptoms - but no one seems to be digging in to figure out what's going on (the ER says it's not immediately life-threatening, follow up with primary care/specialists - primary care/specialists say they can't get a handle on it and go to ER).

CORRECTION: I misinterpreted the assistant's conversation. It has, in fact, breached the prostate wall. However, it has not spread to any other areas of the body.
