Returned last night from Texas and have to update the medical scene on Lone Star JR. He saw Dr Te, the oncologist, on Tuesday. Still does not have comparable results from Missouri on the old bone scan- but this one taken here of course shows spots on pelvis, femur, ribs, scapulas, etc... We just need the other on to show changes. PSA this week is 66. It is climbing rapidly. Dr Te talked about options with Pops and EE-ranging from doing nothing at all too radiation and/ or chemo. Granted these are not for life sustaining measures but for pain management. I need to look into pros and cons for them so we can decide. At this point they do not want to do anything and let it ride. Pops has final say in all decisions, but I want them to be informed decisions. Pops also is having urination voiding problems again. He is going to have a test today to see what is going on. We know what it is, but what we can do is the concern.
Adele, Rick, and kids are here for Thanksgiving. They are helping with Mom and Pops and we are enjoying having them here. Tomorrow we will go to Cindy's, KA's Mom, and have Thanksgiving. Our family, Adele's family, Mom and Pops and Cindy will eat too much and watch football and such. I think I like Thanksgiving better than any other holiday. People get together and have a nice meal and you don't have all the expectations and commercialization of Christmas. I know the point behind Christmas is bigger- I get that. Just get tired of the whole build up.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Will show hunting pics and Pops B Day shortly. He has a B Day on the 28th.
