Brain cancer isn't painless

Dr Desjardins from Duke told us that brain cancer is painless, but he's definitely in pain now. Maybe we should have let him go without any treatments, because the pain is a result of the myriad medical interventions. Avastin is responsible for the blood clots in the leg and lungs, and the coumidan and heparin given to dissolve the blood clots caused the painful hematoma in his abdominal wall. Dad had another seizure last night, and has been vomiting since. My sister called and hospice is advising that someone needs to be there with Mom round the clock now. Carol will be there this weekend and I'll start my vigil on Monday. There's still a possibility that Dad will rally temporarily with another increase in his dosage of steroids. I'm not ready for him to go, but I'm ready for his suffering to end.
