ONCOLOGIST APPOINTMENT

While Jerry and I were in Hawaii, Justice and Harmony helped Jerry give his injections.

Jerry had his monthly scheduled oncologist appointment, today. Once Jerry arrived home he seemed okay. Jerry had told me that they increased his dosage of Avastin, this time. Later on (about 10:00pm) he staggered into the bedroom (as if he were drunk). I was concerned he would fall and get hurt. I told him he would need to wake me up during the night so I could help him, if he needed to get out of bed. Once he fell asleep he was moaning and groaning, as well as, snoring. Once during the night he was moaning and was shaking his legs. I couldn't sleep because I was afraid for Jerry. I got up during the middle of the night, got on the computer and went to the Avastin website (link below). I notice some side effects can be fatal, however, I don't really understand the terminology the use. But, I wanted to make sure Jerry wasn't having any adverse reactions and in need of medical attention. He seemed okay the rest of the night, but of course I didn't get much sleep myself. http://www.gene.com/gene/products/information/pdf/avastin-prescribing.pdf

Jerry's PSA is: 3.74. It seems to be creaping up as the rest of him seems to be breaking down.

Yesterday (03/08/07) Dr. Gorbaty contacted Jerry and called in another injection for Jerry to use every night. This is suppose to increase his immune system. (see information on the web site link attached below)
