Happy New Year 2008. It's hard to believe that in December, 1999 is when Jerry's physician first determined that Jerry's prostate was enlarged... and soon after that he was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer (Advanced meaning that it was already advanced and was not recommended that the prostate be removed, but he immediately go on Hormone Therapy... and he's been treated ever since. I am so blessed and thankful that Jerry has been able to endure this cancerous disease going on 9 years.
Jerry went today for his monthly (routine) treatment. His appointment in Century City was at 2:00pm and he did not return home until approximately 8:30pm. I could tell that he wasn't feeling well, at all. His coloring was white as a ghost and he seemed lethargic. After taking his nightly medication and shots we prepared for bed. Jerry woke up several times during the night with bouts of diarrhea. Jerry has been experiencing approximately two weeks of constant diarrhea. Jerry's physician is suspicious about Jerry having colitis from so much diarrhea. BTW... for those who may not know, Jerry's mother died of colon cancer. Jerry's physician has prescribed a medication for colitis, but Jerry needs to submit a stool sample prior to starting the medication to determine if there is colitis or not.
