Since he will be going through chemotherapy, testings and surgery, Dad will not be increasing his brain stimulator during that time. It will be too hard to determine progress and adjust appropriately. So sometime after he has finished surgery and progressing in physical therapy rehab, then he will visit Dr Hedera and the stimulator progress will be started up again.
He has been gaining strength with the nutrition he is receiving in the nutrition tube.
The Drs are arranging appointments for Dec 19 and 20 for additional testing the surgeon needs to determine the exact location of the cancer.
He is still enjoying visits from his friends and looks forward catching up!
This is a blog to keep everyone informed on Dad's Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery in August 2011, and also dealing with malignant stomach endocarcinoma treatment diagnosed November 2011. Brain Surgery Stage 1, 2a, 2b, 3, & 4. Soon the stimulator will be programmed (increased) every three days again with a hand held device.
