A lot can happen in a few days. It turns out my husband’s abdomen was filling up with fluid while I was in quarantine. He had too have 7 liters drained, yesterday. They are planning on putting in a permanent catheter , so they can drain him more easily. This is really sad.
They said that the fluid build up is a sign that his body is beginning to struggle with the cancer. The thought of this makes me sick to by stomach, literally. I feel like I need to throw up every time I think about it.
After the holidays, we are going to go public with my husband’s diagnosis. We cannot keep it a secret any longer. He is planning on working full time but people have started noticing that something is off. My husband’s head of HR is pushing for the news to be shared company wide, but before they do that they have to release the news to the media. They most likely will do it at the same time.
I just wonder how much information will remain private. We, as a family, still hope for a miracle and that the low dose chemo will keep the cancer at bay. I am not sure the media will be so kind.
