ROD STEWART IN CONCERT


March 22, 2007... Jerry, myself, along with our long time friends, Ralph and Mary Quigley (Jerry and Ralph have worked for various employers together for over 30 years) enjoying Rod Stewart in Concert at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. Jerry and I had seen him last year, and really enjoyed the concert. But, this year was even better than last year. It was a great concert and I wanted to share some pictures I took during the concert.
Hope you all enjoyed the pictures.

ONCOLOGIST APPOINTMENT continued...

Seems like this last appointment is been a little rough. Since my last update, Jerry still is not feeling as well as he has in the past (after his appointment). On Sunday he didn't seem to have the energy he usually does on a Sunday afternoon that is a warm, sunny day. Jerry told me that he had woke up this morning with a wet tee-shirt (which he slept in). Sunday night when I kissed him goodnight, I noticed he was very warm. I asked him if he was feeling okay and he said he was. But, on Monday he told me that he didn't get much sleep during the night. Last night I noticed he looked very pale. Again, I asked him how he was feeling and again he said okay, but his tummy was a little shaky.

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)
