03.21.08 Update Diarrea / Colitus

Since Jerry's most recent Oncologist visit (03/12/08) he was doing okay with only minor problems with his diarrhea. However, yesterday he started having the severe problem, once again. His last prescription for vancomyocin was finished last Thursday 03/13/08. After talking to the Gastro physician and the Oncologist last night. He will be starting on another vancomyocin prescription today. He is submitting a stool sample today and will have a follow-up appointment with the Gastro physician on Tuesday. His Oncologist is recommending that we get more aggressive getting a colonoscopy for Jerry, but the Gastro physician was waiting for the Colitus to be cleared up.

Jerry's most recent PSA was 11.5
