Despite all our communication with the anesthesiologist prior to a minor elbow surgery, he was laid flat on his back for the procedure. When he ‘crashed’ as the surgery ended, they sat him up, gave him two breathing treatments and decided to transport him to the ER. Six hours later we were -thankfully - released to go home.
My poor Joe! Just one thing after another! The ER doc said his chest CT looks ‘worse’ than the one from a June. We now have a pulmonologist on our team, so I’ll call him today….
When I asked the onc to schedule PSMA and FDG pet (I sent him the link to a study from Tall Allen encouraging both), he said no: that it’s not necessary.
From the ‘good news’ department: Joe’s PSA dropped from 12+ to <6 after 2nd dose of Pluvicto.
It’s a roller coaster……
Today is a new day! Let’s grab all the joy we can while we can!
Thanks for being here. I very often think of this group while pacing doctor’s offices or the ER. Just knowing there’s a tribe of warriors helps me feel less alone and powerless.

the good news is that Joe is back home and doing better. Plus like PSAed said , he has you there looking after him and helping him. That’s priceless for guys like us. Sounds like you are taking good care of him.
