The bad news
April 30, 2015 the doctor announced the news that we never want to hear. His condition was drastically drop. Doctor had reviewed the blood test result his liver function drop so bad within a week. He cannot proceed with any kind of chemotherapy treatment or biopsy in order to avoid to create more dangerous conditions for him. His Health condition is not able to tolerate any more drug. His weight drop down to 133 lbs, his stomach area is blowed, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and tired, beside loss of appetite and cannot chew on food, basically he is taking almost everything in fluid form. It's hard for the health care provider to announce the term of your life and it's hard for the patient to accept it's only how much longer you can live. Base on the progression of the cancer in these two weeks. Doctor expect he might have few weeks to two month to be with us. Although I am on the medical field as an Interpreter for 7 years in the past dealing with the similar situation. But it's extremely hard for me to digest the information I just heard, knowing that I am going to lost my most beloved one in my life and my son is going to lost his Dad, friends and family is going to lost a brother, a uncle and a best friend. We all still in shock although since his first diagnosis in Jan 2014. We are expect some day will happen, but we all are greedy we want more and more and we do not want to let go. I am still trying to get second opinion from other oncology doctor in Seattle Cancer Care Alliance as quickly as possibility can. I understand the doctor who take care of him from the beginning Doctor Picozzi is one the best most well known doctor treating pancreatic cancer in the west coast, beside he is the director of the Virginia Mason hospital Oncology team and president of the pancreatic cancer research organization. We do respect him to providing my husband the best care he can offered. However for this moment because we are running out of options. I am just like the ants in the hot sand. I am still trying to look for miracle, I hope miracle can happen. All of us around him especially both me and my son will cherish the time we have together. Friends and family please talk to him now to tell him how much you love him. I just do not want to end writing my blog because of this reason.
