Bullet Points

  • NOT CANCER
  • Dad's surgery went well, he had three pockets of infection, but they were well contained
  • S needs 7 fillings, not 9 and only one possible pulpotomy. We're doing it over 3 visits with laughing gas. whew
  • NOT CANCER
  • NOT CANCER
  • FSH and LH levels were very high, which leads to the idea of WTF is going on?

Things could go downhill very fast

The reports for the bloodwork and U/S F had two weeks (no THREE weeks) ago have finally gotten to us. There is a 90% chance that he has cancer. He has an appointment with a urologist on Monday to read the report and get more info. My guess is that they will either do a biopsy, rule out cancer because of some other info I don't know, or schedule surgery. We'll know more on Sunday, but when the damned report says that it's cancer unless ruled out by unknown criteria, I don't feel so hopeful.

I've started calling therapists for me, him and Sarah. I don't know how much more we can take.

Oh, and I have a root canal scheduled for tomorrow. A tooth that has no cavity or decay shows a loss of bone associated with infection and needs dealt with now.

Sarah's dental work is scheduled to start next Thursday. I will have to cancel going to help with Dad next week because of all of this. There just isn't enough of me to go around.
