Another setback :-(

Why is it that every time we feel like we are taking a step forward, something will happen to take us at least 2 steps backward?

Husband has been puking a lot today - started even before breakfast! Then after lunch, then in the middle of the afternoon when he hadn't even eaten anything! He has managed to keep down some quaker oats - once for breakfast, and once at about 5.30pm. He has also been good about drinking his Ensure protein drink... and that's about all he has been able to tolerate.

Will take him back to the gastro tomorrow. See what's what.

Also, ironically, putting him on 3 morphine tablets, every 12 hours, is working out WORSE than having 2 tablets, every 8 hours. He has already had to have 2 doses of 4ml each of the liquid morphine, to supplement the pills!!! So our pain management doc has asked me to put him back on the 8-hourly cycle, with doses of liquid morphine, IF required, in between.

The other update - our oncologist in Melaka has made arrangements for us to see an oncologist in KL this coming Saturday, 9.30am, at the University Malaya Specialist Centre. My sister is coming with us, as she knows where it is, and also so she can get a wheelchair for Husband, and keep him company at the entrance of the centre while I go and park the car and make my way back to them (apparently a little bit of a distance from car park to hospital entrance, and I don't want Husband to have to walk that distance!).

Will update tomorrow, once we have seen the gastro doc.

Please continue to keep Husband in your thoughts and prayers, that this may just be a VERY temporary setback.

Till next time, stay safe, stay HEALTHY!
